When Is The Next Full Moon, And Will It Be Blue?
We earthlings love to look up at the moon. So much does the moon enamor us; we write movies, songs and poems by the droves that contain the name of the earth's super satellite. A case in point is the fact that one of the biggest selling record albums of all time is Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon."For all its romance inspiring awesomeness, the moon has another side to its personality. Werewolves, mood swings and even wild behavior are often blamed on the full moon. How many times have you heard the question acrimoniously asked, "is it a full moon tonight?"Still, the moon is important and interesting to all of us who live in sight of its majestic beauty. We never tire wondering about it. In this article, we will talk about the moon, its cycles and the phenomenon known as the "blue moon." Then, we will even give you a heads up as to when you can expect the next several full moons.Full moons on different daysWhere you live on earth rarely makes a difference as to whether the moon is full, quarter or new. This is because it takes the moon almost a month to travel around the earth and it only takes a day for the earth to turn around once. So in comparison, the moon sort of sits in the sky and waits for us to see what phase it is in. Still, there are times when the moon will be full on different calendar days in different areas of the earth.Once in a blue moonTechnically, it takes the moon an average of 29.53 days to travel around the earth. Most months are longer than this. So, it is possible to have more than one full moon in one month. When this happens, the second moon is called a "calendar blue moon." Of course, this is a simple rule. So, let's complicate it!The Farmer's Almanac defines a blue moon as the third full moon in a season of four full moons. This is the correct definition of a blue moon. Since a season is three months long, most seasons will have three full moons. However, on occasion a season will have four. When this happens, the third is a true blue moon.So here you have two definitions of a blue moon but the one for a calendar blue moon does not describe the true meaning of a blue moon. Here's why:On occasion February will have no full moons and January and March will both have two. In this case, you have two calendar blue moons in the same year. However, there can be no more than one in a year's time or it would not be that rare of an event. Using the Farmer's Almanac description there can be a maximum of one in a year.The moon's orbitThe moon's orbit is not on the same plane as the earth's orbit around

Q&A: Eclipse vs. occultation?
Question by 247FMC: Eclipse vs. occultation?
If we would have been defining the words eclipse and occultation a few million years ago, when the moon was a little closer to us, and therefore able to make more total solar eclipses and fewer annular ones, would we have called solar eclipses occultations instead?
(semantics, i know)
p.s. yahoo suggested i post this question in the automotives section. would i get better ansewrs from car nuts?
Best answer:
Answer by bikenbeer2000I guess you're right. A large moon covering a small sun might be considered more like a 'proper' occultation. Maybe when the moon has moved far enough away, an annular eclipse will be termed a transit.
Re: Automotives section. I've heard of a Mitsubishi Eclipse, but not a Mitsubishi Occultation.

While watching a recent History channel documentary (part-1, part-2) regarding the Mayan calendar and its end date of December 21st 2012, I could not help but draw parallels with certain prophetic pronouncements contained within the Qur’an of things yet to come.
Mayan Calendar
The Mayan’s of South America were perhaps one of the most advanced civilizations when it came to astronomy and the mapping of the celestial movement of the stars and our planet. In-fact, the Mayan calendar is so accurate that it has been able to predict lunar and solar eclipses thousands of years in advance based on a complex interlocking system involving lunar-solar-and star movements.
Interestingly enough, the Mayan calendar comes to an end on December 21st 2012 (the day of winter solstice). Now, while some people are speculating that this may mark the end of the world, others are speculating more reasonably that it will mark the end of the current sun-earth-galaxy synchronization and that a new synchronization will begin.
I find this second interpretation to be more logical, especially when we consider that God has told us that our sun is not stationary, but is constantly moving towards a determined point and is by default taking us with it:
36:38 And the sun runs to a specific destination, such is the design of the Noble, the Knowledgeable.

On May 20, 2012, an annular solar eclipse will pass over the western United States. This video is an animated map showing the path of the eclipse over Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. If you are within this pass, you will see the moon slide fully in front of the sun. During an annular solar eclipse, the moon's disk is just smaller than the sun and is sometimes called a "Ring of Fire" eclipse. It will be a spectacular sight, but you must use either solar filters or a projection system to watch it safely. More maps of this eclipse are available at eclipse-maps.com
