That moon shot that JJ got is rare. It was 19 years ago when we last had a full moon on January 2nd. It will be another 19 years for this to happen again. It was 39 years ago that there was a blue moon in January, it will be another 39 years for a repeat of that. So, is this the first time in your lifetime that there has been a full moon on January 2nd?

It's so funny - last night we just happened to be outside when it got dark (leaving my parents' house). It looked Halloweenish - kinda dark, cloudy, spooky looking . . . it was very cool but we hadn't realized it was actually "an event"! Oh my gosh - I can't even remember 19 years ago's new year/full moon!!

Neither can I. What's more is there'll be a blue moon at the end of January and that hasn't happened in January in 39 years.

Ahh, well the Blue moon isn't actually blue @much2say but anytime there are 2 full moons within one month the second one is called a blue moon. They are rare.

Well, at 48 the January blue moon will happen in your lifetime for the 2nd time and the January 2nd full moon happened twice in your life time, this one was the third one.

And you'll have another opportunity on the 31st, but if it's as cold as you've mentioned you might not want to be outside to see it.

For me, yes this is the first time I've ever seen a full moon, on Jan. 2. The next time I will be 86 years old, if I'm still around!

What a beautiful cat!

I should have seen 2 so far in my life time but like most folks I didn't pay any attention to it. Her name is Meetzee, she'll attack dogs even those the size of Kobe.

@rebelann There was a cat like her, in Bay City. He was as big as a bob-cat and almost killed a dog one time!
