The night of the Harvest Moon was too foggy to really see it. This was the next night.

Orange moon rising over Penobscot Bay, Maine.

It was bright orange as it came up over the horizon.

And got brighter and whiter as it rose, spreading sparkles over the water. You’ll notice that it’s not fully round — the top right edge is soft.

The names of the full moons are – - January —  Full Wolf Moon; February — Full Snow Moon, March – Full Worm Moon; April – Full Pink Moon; May – Full Flower Moon; June – Full Strawberry Moon; July – Full Buck Moon; August – Full Sturgeon Moon; September -- Full Corn Moon; October – Full Harvest Moon; November – Full Beaver Moon; December – Full Cold Moon.

A Blue Moon is the second full moon in one month.

The names are a mix of the names both the Indians and the European settlers used. There’s a bit more info at The Farmers Almanac.

These pics were taken before the moon bombing, a very interesting project by NASA.
