If you love Halloween like I do, you will like this. 

 

Halloween 2020 is going to be one for the history (and astrology!) books! Not only will we experience the annual "harvest moon" on October 1, but we'll also be treated to a particularly spooky sky on Halloween night.

According to Farmer’s Almanac, a full moon on Halloween only happens once in a blue moon—every 18 to 19 years, to be exact. For this reason, when a full moon lands on October 31, Halloween and astrology lovers near and far get pretty excited. And, when that full moon is, quite literally, a blue moon, the excitement only increases. This, of course, means that Halloween 2020 is about to be one of the best Halloweens to date.

WHAT IS A BLUE MOON?

While the name itself might make you think you’re going to see a blue-tinted moon in the sky, a blue moon is actually more about when it occurs than its actual appearance.

If you’re a fan of astrology, you likely know that full moons happen once a month, with the lunar cycle being 29 days long. Since most months are longer than 29 days, there’s a chance that two full moons could happen in the same calendar month. When this happens, it’s called a blue moon.

According to Earth Sky, there are two types of blue moons: monthly and seasonal. If there are two full moons in a month, it’s a monthly blue moon; if it’s the third of four full moons in a season, it’s a seasonal blue moon.

HALLOWEEN 2020 BLUE MOON

There’s no better way to celebrate October and all of it’s spooky, ghoulishly-good fun than by kicking off and ending the month with a full moon. Where the first of the month will witness a stunning harvest moon (the name given to the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox on September 22), the 31st will see its first Halloween blue moon since 2001. Needless to say, you won’t want to miss it. After all, the next time you can expect a full moon on Halloween is in 2039!

      Don't have to be miss cleo. His weakness are length, athleticism, creating his own shot, defense, finishing at the rim,  Strengths - shooting and IQ.   Likely won't work as non athletic shooters don't typically work.

      Get ready for ‘SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers’

      By Mr Mojo Risin · Posted

      I live in Indiana and took a trip that weekend to watch my two friend's teams play (Chiefs and Vikings) IN Minnesota when they were playing at a college field, I think TCF? Anyways, our plan was to watch the game (noon game) then do some shopping at the Mall of America, I wasn't planning on watching the Panthers play Seattle since I was out sight seeing and walking around after the noon game had ended. By the time we were walking back into the Mall the Panthers were down by 2 scores in the 4th or going into the 4th and we were all thirsty from walking around for 2.5 hours after the Vikings game so we decided to postpone shopping until after we ate. We found this nice little sports bar inside the mall that had the game on. Man, I'm so glad we skipped shopping because that was probably the most excited I've been in some time for a win. Beating Seattle in 2015 felt like the "monkey off the back" sort of feeling and I knew we had finally arrived as a team. The entire bar erupted when Cam hit Olsen for that walk off TD. Literally one of the greatest moments of my life. My friend wasn't so happy though lol, by the time the Panthers game ended ALL of the stores inside the mall had closed and he wasn't able to get any souvenirs. It was his first time watching a Vikings game live and making a trip like that so he was legit upset lol. I on the other hand couldn't have been happier.
