Loona Science

In myth and folklore the full moon of each month is given a name. There are many variations, but the following list gives the most widely known names obviously in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE:

* January - Wolf moon only

* February - Ice moon
* March - Storm moon
* April - Growing moon
* May - Hare moon
* June - Mead moon
* July - Hay moon
* August - Corn moon
* September - Harvest moon
* October - Hunter's moon
* November - Snow moon
* December - Winter moon

The third full moon in a season with four full moons is called a blue moon, as described in the Maine Farmer's Almanac. Until recently it was commonly misunderstood that the second full moon in a month was the blue moon. However, it was recently discovered by Sky & Telescope Magazine and reported on NPR that the interpretation of a blue moon as the second full moon of the month was erroneously reported in an issue of Sky & Telescope dating back to 1946 and then perpetuated by other media.

In some cultures, individuals whose birthdays fall on or near a harvest moon must provide a feast for the rest of the community.
