Second full moon in December to light night sky
Term "blue moon" has been around 400 years, professor says
Meaning of the phrase has shifted over the years
(CNN) -- It happens only once in a blue moon -- and scientists say a blue moon is exactly what we'll see in the skies this New Year's Eve.
Don't expect an azure glow over our lunar satellite, however. The term "blue moon" simply refers to the second full moon in a calendar month, something that hasn't happened on a New Year's Eve for nearly 20 years, NASA says.
"December 1990 ended with a blue moon, and many New Year's Eve parties were themed by the event," said Professor Philip Hiscock of the department of folklore at Memorial University of Newfoundland, in Canada. "It was a lot of fun."
Most months have just one full moon, because the 29.5-day cycle of the moon matches up pretty well with the length of calendar months. Occasionally, there will be two full moons in a month, something that happens about every 2½ years, NASA says.
But a blue moon on December 31 is rare.

Cultural History
Elvis Presley crooned about it when he sang the old Rodgers and Hart song "Blue Moon," in which he stood alone without a dream in his heart or a love of his own.
He struck a more hopeful tone in another tune, singing about his love returning to his arms "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again." He also covered Bill Monroe's bluegrass classic, "Blue Moon of Kentucky."
It is possible for the moon to have a cerulean hue, NASA says, but that's sometimes caused by fine dirt circulating in the Earth's atmosphere or the dark blue tone of the sky.
A blue moon hasn't always meant the second full moon in a month. Hundreds of years ago, it simply meant "never" or "absurd," Hiscock said.
"The phrase 'blue moon' has been around a long time, well over 400 years, but during that time its meaning has shifted," he said. "I have counted six different meanings which have been carried by the term, and at least four of them are still current today. That makes discussion of the term a little complicated."
When the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa erupted in 1883, it put so much dust in the atmosphere that the moon actually appeared blue -- an event so unusual that the term "once in a blue moon" was coined, according to NASA's National Space Science Data Center. The effect lasted for almost two years, Hiscock said.
Full moons used to have 12 names, one for each month, such as "harvest moon," NASA said. The term "blue moon" referred to the 13th full moon in a year.
The term acquired its current meaning in the 1940s, after the Farmer's Almanac of Maine offered an astronomical definition of a blue moon "so convoluted that even professional astronomers struggled to understand it," NASA wrote on its Web site.
A writer at Sky and Telescope magazine in the late 1940s tried to explain the almanac's definition by saying it referred to the second full moon in a month.
"That was not correct, but at least it could be understood," NASA wrote. "And thus the modern blue moon was born."

13:13 Gateway and Leridoyita Space-Route to Triangulum
Triangulum Galaxy

31st Dec 09 – 1st Jan 10 (13:13 Gateway and
“Leridoyita” Space-Channel Opening to Triangulum Galaxy)

Dearest Radiant Friends,
In-between 2009 and 2010, the spilt half-second moment 13:13 Gateway will be opened. This gateway represents the peak of our expansion in 2009 and bridging into 2010 a Golden Cycle of the Year begins…
Coming into alignment, the moments and moment of 2009 collapses and enters into a new moment of collective expansion where billions of people around the world celebrate. 13:13 is the Gateway of the Inner Heart, the Inner Being – the Inner Source. It is the moment where billions of people focus for a spilt moment sending forth their magnificent desires for a brighter and greater future! A gateway of hope, new beginnings, new creations.
To connect with this gateway and be open to come into alignment, simply bring yourself into alignment with the intention of connecting to 13:13: 10 minutes before 2010 and maintain this connection 10 minutes into 2010.
Be in your Golden Light Body and activate with intention the Golden Solar Disk within your heart center. Integrate all emotional discordance of 2009 if any (usually flashes back as memory-visions/sound in mind) by breathing until your breath and chest becomes lighter and lighter. For some, this process may take a while.
This Golden Light breathing does not only unify 2009, but also unify the fears of the unknown of 2010 if any.
Official Opening Space-Route to Triangulum Galaxy during 13:13
It is also during this moment, that a Space-Route Gateway named “Leridoyita” (LER-RI-DO-YI-TA, see description below) between Triangulum Galaxy (TG) and our Milky Way (MW) officially opens. Many individuals over thousands of years who have been “traveling” in deep space exploring and communing with different consciousness, whether in this galaxy or other galaxies or universe – have been establishing connections to improve and exchange information with light beings of other worlds.
We are extremely excited and honored to come into alignment with beings from Triangulum Galaxy and have agreed to setup a Space Route that connects directly between TG and MW.
Our nearest Galaxy neighbor Andromeda 2.5 million light years away, and our second nearest is Triangulum 3 million light years.
On 15th November 2009, by aligning to the Central Core of Milky Way, we created a fabric of dimensional tunnel consciously, which then led us to the Central Core of Andromeda Galaxy. Having aligned to the new frequencies of Andromeda for couple minutes, we transited through to Triangulum Galaxy.
The representatives of TG shared that both our Earth from the Inner Planes and TM Beings will be setting up Inner-Planes Schools on each Galaxy. This could enrich our exchange of information and DNAs-RNAs expansion. It could trigger cellular memories for humans if any ancestral line comes from TG. We will also be sharing collective data of experiences through intergalactic Living Light Libraries (LLL) (See descriptions below).
We downloaded new templates of crystals with intention that enhances the life-forms of this planet and invited new DNAs of organisms from TG. These light energetic templates are carefully encrypted into Light Disks that comes into various shapes and colors. They fit in length no longer than a dinning plate. The textures and material of the disks are made from Keptinitenions (KEEP-TER-NITE-NIONS, a crystal material from TG) to specifically hold the frequencies of information. They are then transported through a space channel between galaxies before anchoring through a stable Inner Earth Vortex to the Inner Core for re-calibration. We are expecting in the near future to discover exciting new crystals, marine-life and new species of plants physically!
If you wish to explore TG during this period and join in the Official Opening Celebration with lots of light beings, here are some of the suggestions:
0) If you are visiting TG during 13:13, 10 minutes between 2009 and 2010, I would suggest to check if any all emotional discordance is still in your vibrational field…breathe into it before going to step 1.
1) Relax and come into alignment to your Source within, breathing well and feeling good.
2) Connect to the Sun in your heart center and the Inner Earth Sun and unify with it completely as one.
3) Using your intent, direct your attention to the Central Core of our Milky Way Galaxy and merge with it.
4) Simply relax, allow and flow.
5) Request the Galactic-Space Gateway Light Beings of our Milky Way to assist you getting on to the Leridoyita Space tunnel. There will be arrangement to join in the flow - this will be similar to the Deep Sea Current channel that loops in our ocean.
6) Arriving TG will then be Free-and-Easy. It is always comfortable to invite a guide from TG to introduce you to this new world. Learn about their lifestyle etc.
7) Coming back simply return to the same gateway. You will reach Earth in no time.
Sharing in Triangulum Galaxy
Currently there are openings for application if you would like to share at TG Inner-Plane School a.k.a Playground as a lecturer, a friend, a lover, as your Source. They also have new exchange programs that you can participate and discuss with the Inner-Plane Playground advisor “Manjiska” and “Sunrulye”. Both of them will be able to assist you if you are interested.
As a humble being of Source energy from Magnificent Earth sharing - Your audience will be inspiring light beings from TG, home to estimated about 30-40 billion stars. It is important to note that you can set your intention to balance your time here on Earth and on TG.
There are also projects involving research about water (liquid vibrations capable of sustaining life) on Earth and in TG. The departments involving this research are located a distance away from the Galactic Core of Triangulum. Over millions of years, they have established a concentrated figure of near 600 cities that focuses on harnessing the energies of their Suns and other vibrational essences essential for their life expansion. TG is also looking at expanding and may unify with other stars or even galaxies in future.
We hope that with this new Space-Route opening, it will bridge our connection with the Light Beings of TG in an even more interlaced relationship of love and unity. It will enhance and improve our experience and exploration as Source energy collectively.
We delightfully invite you for this gathering and it is of great great joy to be sharing with you radiant friends!
Love,
jiro
