Continuing with the theme of moons and Earth Science (why is this fascinating to me now and not in high school?.......ohh hormones, I forgot!), I thought I would tell you that if you use the quote, "once in a blue moon" we will be having one of those this year on December 31st.
The Current Definition of Blue Moon (there have been many, but this is the one that we adhere to now is this): the second of two full moons to occur in the same calendar month. Like I already stated, this will be happening in December of this year.
Also, Easter. Why in the world was Easter last year on March 23rd and this year on April 12th (this being said if you are not an Orthodox)? Easter is calculated thus, the first Sunday after a Full Moon which happens upon, or after the 21st day of March(or the Vernal Equinox); and if the Full Moon happens on a Sunday, then Easter will occur the following Sunday.
So these and other musings are where my brain is at.....should we broach the subject of our biorhythms and what causes our brains to wonder? (I know, it could still be hormones!)
