THERE will be a blue moon on Thursday as New Year’s Eve revellers welcome in 2010 – the first time since 1990 that a blue moon has coincided with the end of the year.
A blue moon – the second full moon in a calendar month – happens only every 2½ years on average. This month, full moons occur on December 2 and December 31…

There will also be a partial lunar eclipse during this blue moon…
And apparently the above information is incorrect for the Australian time zones. The full moon will be in the morning of the 1st of January, so it won’t be a blue moon here after all. For places in other times zones it could still be a blue moon New Years Eve though.
