  That's the line from an email I had from my mom today. It does seem pretty special. Although one has happened in Aidan's lifetime, we missed it. So this will be both kids' first Blue Moon. I'm enjoying imagining where we'll be and how big they'll be by the next one in 2007!
urlLink Tonight a 'blue moon' will rise in the sky : "Come Saturday night and Indians can watch a phenomena that rarely occurs -- a second full moon in a calendar month. The first full moon was on July 2. It is an occurrence from which the oft-used English saying 'once in a blue moon' is said to have originated.
For Indians wanting to witness the event, the moon will rise slightly after 1800 IST and set at around 0400 IST, M P Birla Planetarium Scientific Director Debiprosad Duari said. Since there are roughly 29.5 days between full moons, it is unusual for two full moons to 'fit' into a 30 or 31 day month, Duari explained. The last such occurrence happened in November 2001. In 1999, there were two blue moon occurrences on January 1 and 31 and March 2 and 31. The next blue moon will appear in June 2007. "
