Now that I have you perverts attention...
The Beaver moon is at 0128 or so this AM. You should check it out, if you happen to be awake and the sky is clear. There's plenty of information about it on the web.

That’s it! My wife was grilling about 45 minutes ago and mention the moon being larger than normal and very cool looking. Thanks Doc.
 
I walked down stairs last night and looked outside. Thought I left a light on. The moon was so bright!
 
Yes I watched it. Our local weather guy told us it came from the Algonquin Indians meaning it was time to set the beaver traps. Didn’t know that part. Thanks for bringing it up DOC.
 
What I didn't realize is that the moon at it's fullest has a different name every month. Interesting.....

The Beaver Moon peaks this weekend at 1:22 a.m. ET on Saturday.

The phenomenon is also called a Frost Moon, but both names describe the same thing: the full moon.

In fact, these two labels join dozens of other names for this phase of Earth's largest satellite. The terms change from month to month:

  • January: Wolf Moon, Old Moon.
  • February: Snow Moon, Hunger Moon.
  • March: Worm Moon, Sap Moon, Crow Moon.
  • April: Pink Moon, Grass Moon, Fish Moon.
  • May: Flower Moon, Planting Moon.
  • June: Strawberry Moon, Rose Moon.
  • July: Buck Moon, Thunder Moon, Hay Moon.
  • August: Sturgeon Moon, Red Moon.
  • September: Harvest Moon, Corn Moon.
  • October: Hunter's Moon.
  • November: Beaver Moon, Frost Moon.
  • December: Cold Moon, Long Night's Moon.
Yes, these names all refer to the full moon.

And let's not forget the Blue Moon; The second full moon in a month. They don't happen very often, thus the saying, "Once in a Blue moon".
And by the way, the moon, other than a Blue moon, only gets a name if that months moon is at apogee. That's why it appears brighter.
