Strawberry Moon

MOONwhile in Mississauga last night, the Strawberry Super Moon showed up in all its blazing glory, which gets its name from the wild strawberries that start to ripen during early summer. Other names for this Full Moon are Rose Moon, Hot Moon, and Mead Moon. In India, according to the Indian full moon calendar 2022, a full moon in June is memorably known as Jyeshtha Purnima (May/June). As on this auspicious day, married women observe fast for the longevity of their husband’s life. And as well as for the prosperity and happiness in their married life. Photos by Tony Fernandes.

Full moon closest to the autumnal equinox and this one coincided with its status as a supermoon

A harvest moon occurs at a specific time of the year. The moon officially turns full when it reaches the spot opposite to the sun. The harvest moon happens on 13:59 Greenwich time on the Saturday nearest to the fall equinox, which is September 23rd. Once in every three years we get the same full moon in October, but the one in September is called the harvest moon because farmers can continue their harvest late into the night by the light of the full moon. The same moon appears three days in succession, but the one that appears on Saturday is the one that receives this name.

Other names for this moon are the Wine Moon, the Elk Call Moon and the Singing Moon. It received the name of harvest moon because it appears in the Northern Hemisphere at the time of the year that coincides with the harvesting of crops.

Super Moon

 

It was a Supermoon Sunday yesterday - 10 Aug 2014.

As I was hoping, and luckily to my delight, the evening sky was clear except for a slight haze just above the horizon.

A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.

Gibbous - Waxing Moon

Meanwhile in Caledon, the evening skies yesterday, 

Wednesday 6th August, were clear and the moon made a 

grand appearance in its 'waxing gibbous phase' in the 

Zodiac sign Libra, after just having passed the first quarter 

on 3rd August, on its way thru until full moon on 10th 

August.
