#FULL MOOM JULY FULL#
This tribe calls June's full moon the LRO Moon, in honor of the spacecraft they launched toward the Moon on June 18, 2009. Comprised of people from all backgrounds, many of whom have gone on to join other tribes, this tribe was devoted to the study of the Moon. This tribe's language is primarily English, but with a liberal smattering of acronyms, arcane scientific and engineering terms, and Hawaiian phrases (cheerfully contributed by the former Deputy Project Manager). This tribe is now scattered but mostly lived in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The Poson holiday in Sri Lanka celebrates the introduction of Buddhism in 236 BCE.Īnother tribe has also given a name to this full moon. The celebration is based on the legend of Savitri and Satyavan.įor Buddhists, this is Poson Poya.
During the three days of this full moon, married women will show their love for their husbands by tying a ceremonial thread around a banyan tree. Other seasonal names for this full moon that I have found mentioned in various sources (sometimes with conflicting information about whether they are of European or Native American origin) are the Flower Moon, Hot Moon, Hoe Moon, and Planting Moon.įor Hindus, this is Vat Purnima. EDT on the morning of June 15, 2022, the full moon at its highest will reach only 23.3 degrees above the southern horizon, the lowest full moon of the year. Particularly for Europe's higher latitudes, when the full moon is low, it shines through more atmosphere, making it more likely to have a reddish color (for the same reasons that sunrises and sunsets are red).
Full moons are opposite the Sun, so a full moon near the summer solstice will be low in the sky. On the summer solstice, the Sun appears highest in the sky for the year. The orbit of the Moon around the Earth is almost in the same plane as the orbit of the Earth around the Sun (only about 5 degrees off). Others indicate that the name comes from the color of the full Moon. Some sources indicate the name "Rose Moon" comes from the roses that bloom this time of year. There doesn't appear to be any evidence to support a 19th-century theory that the word entered English from the custom of gifting newlyweds mead for their first month of marriage.Īnother European name for this full moon is the Rose Moon. The tradition of calling the first month of marriage the "honeymoon" may be tied to this full moon because of the custom of marrying in June or because the "Honey Moon" is the "sweetest" Moon of the year. The word "honeymoon" traces back to at least the 1500s in Europe. Some writings suggest that the time around the end of June was when honey was ready for harvesting, which made this the "sweetest" Moon. In some countries, Mead is also called Honey Wine (though in others Honey Wine is made differently). Mead is a drink created by fermenting honey mixed with water and sometimes with fruits, spices, grains, or hops. The name comes from the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries in the region.Īn old European name for this full moon is the Mead or Honey Moon. According to this Almanac, the Algonquin tribes of what is now the northeastern United States called this the Strawberry Moon. In the 1930s the Maine Farmer's Almanac began publishing Native American names for full moons. The Moon will appear full for about three days centered on this time, from Sunday evening through Wednesday morning. This will be late Monday night for the International Date Line West time zone, Tuesday for many of the time zones on Earth, and Wednesday morning from the Chatham Standard Time zone eastward to the International Date Line. The next full moon will be Tuesday morning, June 14, 2022, appearing opposite the Sun in Earth-based longitude at 7:52 a.m. The next full moon is the Strawberry Supermoon the Mead, Honey, or Rose Moon the Flower, Hot, Hoe, or Planting Moon Vat Purnima Poson Poya and the LRO Moon.
