At The Turning of the Year (by )

This New Years Eve sees both a Lunar eclipse which is currently occuring - my camera is annoyingly doing the thing of deciding it's too cold to take photos 🙁

It is also by some definitions a Blue Moon! For real! I'm serious 🙂

The number of full moons in a year alters and if there is more then the 12 corrasponding to our months which all have names etc... the extra moons get the name Blue Moon. So if there are two full Moons in a month one of them gets called Blue!

There are other definitions of this such as the Lent Moon being the Betrayer Moon which sounds like blue in Hebrew or something but still we have a blue moon and an eclipse on the turning of the year and the start of a new decade 🙂

And yes I know that the turn of the year is actually at the Shortest Day but this is the night that everyones celebrating so ner!
