How does this work?

dtewes - > Sky Watch -> A Hay Moon

A Hay Moon

larger view

    Most people have heard of a blue moon or a harvest moon.
   But what about a wolf moon or a hare moon? There’s actually a name for each full moon of the month.
    For a listing, check out Keith’s Moon Page. There will be a full moon Wednesday and it’s called a hay moon.
    I would assume that has something to do with the harvest season, but I’m not sure. Anyone have an answer?

Ok, am I the only one that caught "Keith's Moon"? :D

That's just too cute! You certainly got my attention that way! Seriously, dtewes, I agree wholeheartedly with Luminary. You are one of the few real assets to the VicAd blogs. Please keep doing what you do so well!

I don't know the answer to your question but I want to encourage you to keep posting these blogs. Thanks for the heads up about these events that we are able to look out in the night sky without a large telescope and see.

I don't know if this is of any help. It does not explain Hay Moon but it talks about two other names for the July full moon.
