New Years Eve















It's taken some adjusting to get used to the bright light in Dallas as opposed to the rural Oklahoma starry nights. Skies were brighter than usual tonight, thanks to a full moon. The New Year's Eve full moon is what's known as a blue moon, because it's the second full moon in a month. Being a homeschool family, of course we have a rockin' telescope to view such events. Very cool, New Year's Eve blue moons are rare, occurring every 19 years. The last time was in 1990; the next one won't come again until 2028.
