For New Zealand, Australia and most of Asia the full moon will fall on January 1. For that part of the globe, January of 2010 will have two full moons – and the second full moon in January will be their full moon. In the Americas, it is the first of two full moons to occur in December 2009. The full Blue Moon will occur at 19h13 Universtal Time (GMT).
Tonight’s moon will be out all night long, lighting up the nighttime from dusk till dawn. The big full moon will rise around sunset, climb up highest in the sky around midnight, and will set tomorrow around sunrise. As seen from the northern hemisphere, the moon will follow the lofty path of the June sun across the sky tonight. In the southern hemisphere, the moon will lurk close to the horizon, like the winter sun.
This will be the 13th Full Moon of 2009.
It’s a Blue Full Moon the same night it turns a new decade.
The next Blue Moon NYE will be in 29 years on December 31, 2028.

Headland beside Lituya Glacier that was swept the giant 1740 ft wave
Photo by Byron Hale.
Big, Bigger, and Biggest Waves
What’s the biggest wave ever recorded?
The biggest wave on record occurred in Lituya Bay on the southern coast of Alaska in 1958. An earthquake measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale hit the area and shook loose an estimated 40 million cubic yards of dirt and glacier from a mountainside at the head of the bay. When the debris hit the water, a massive 1,720-foot wave was created and washed over the headland.
How did the scientists know the wave was so incredibly enormous? Simple. To measure the height of the wave, scientists found the high-water mark -- the line where the water reached its highest point on land. This probably is not the biggest wave ever, just the biggest documented. Three fishing boats witnessed the Lituya Bay event. Unfortunately, two people on one of the boats were killed. Incredibly, the other two boats rode the waves and their occupants survived.
Technically this wave is described as a "Splash Wave" The photo above shows the headland beside the Lituya Glacier that was swept clean of soil and trees to a height of 1740 feet by the giant splash wave. The icebergs seen in the water of Lituya Bay, foreground, were knocked off the glacier by the landslide falling into the bay from a slope to the right of the photograph.
