Explanation:
Did you see the full moon last night?
If not, tonight's nearly
full moon should be almost as good.
Because
full moons
are
opposite
the Sun,
they are
visible in the sky when
the Sun
is not -- which should be nearly all night long tonight, clouds permitting.
One nickname for
June's full moon is the
Strawberry Moon, named for when wild
strawberries start to ripen in parts of
Earth's northern hemisphere.
Different cultures around the globe give this full
moon different
names,
though, including Honey Moon and Rose Moon.
In the foreground of this featured image, taken yesterday in
Cape Sounion,
Greece,
is the 2,400 year-old
Temple of Poseidon.
Next month will the
50th anniversary of the time humans first landed on the Moon.
