SUMMER SOLSTICE FULL MOON

By Andrew Fazekas

PUBLISHED JUNE 20, 2016
Look up at the moon on June 20, and you may be witnessing something that has not been seen in decades.

Tonight, Jun 20, depending on your local time zone, the full moon will rise on the same day as the June solstice for the first time since 1948.

~Full Moon Names and Their Meanings~

Full Moon names date back to Native Americans, of what is now the northern and eastern United States. The tribes kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to each recurring full Moon. Their names were applied to the entire month in which each occurred. There was some variation in the Moon names, but in general, the same ones were current throughout the Algonquin tribes from New England to Lake Superior. European settlers followed that custom and created some of their own names. Since the lunar month is only 29 days long on the average, the full Moon dates shift from year to year.

Full Strawberry Moon

June

This name was universal to every Algonquin tribe.

However, in Europe they called it the Rose Moon. Also because the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of June . . . so the full Moon that occurs during that month was christened for the strawberry!

FULL MOON CHRISTMAS DAY

Full moon to appear on Christmas Day for the first time in 38 years

A full moon will appear in the skies on Christmas day, for the first time in decades.

The last time there was a full moon on 25 December was 1977, and there won’t be another one until 2034 – so unless you want a long wait to catch a sight of this rare astronomical occurrence, it’s a good idea to head outside and look up on Christmas.

The full moon, which is the last of the year, is called the Full Cold Moon because it occurs at the start of winter.

The Full Cold Moon – Full Long Nights Moon – Ice Moon

During this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule.

The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time. The midwinter full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite a low Sun.

Here is the Farmers Almanac’s list of the full Moon names.
