May the new year bring forth an impact event on Mars, more spectacular comets to see, clearer skies, nicer new equipment in Singastro but more importantly, good health to all !

Happy New Year 2008! In January, we got meteor shower, tuttle at perigee and 2007 WD5 is going to hit Mars at the odd of 4%. This is a really good year~
Clear skies,
Robin.

My guess is saying "happy new month" or even "happy new day" is on such a frequent basis. People will appreciate things that are rare more. So, I think this inference applies here.

However, I would say "good day" instead of "happy new day" to people as the latter sounds odd.

Just my 2 cents. :)
Clear skies,
Robin.
