How many full moons can you name ?


From January to December, the order is wolf moon, snow moon, worm moon, pink moon, flower moon, strawberry moon, buck moon, sturgeon moon, corn moon, harvest moon, beaver moon, and cold moon.

They are all explained at the Farmers' Almanac.   The one in the embedded APOD photo is a red "snow moon" over Edmonton.

  2. Now that there's a 13th sign of the Zodiac I think it's high time we had a 13th full moon as well.

    I nominate the Keith Moon.
