What is a FULL MOON doing at a Worldwide Solstice Festival?

DID You know that there is a Worldwide Solstice Festival occurring all around the world this week?

AND did you know tonight (tomorrow actually but tonight should be even better) there is a full moon!

CURIOUS if a Worldwide Solstice Festival celebration is near you?  Check out details at: http://www.solarfestusa.com/

BUT TONIGHT get ready for ADVENTURE as you get ready to enjoy and EXPLORE the Solstice full moon experience safely from your own backyard. Bring out something to draw with and draw a picture of what you DISCOVER. 

In the Northern Hemisphere, we call the June full moon the Strawberry Moon, Rose Moon or Flower Moon.   …For the entire world, this year’s June full moon is somewhat unusual in that it’s the fourth of four full moons in one season. Normally, there are only three full moons in a season. But when a season harbors four full moons, the third of these four full moons is often called a Blue Moon.

I “DISCOVERED” this from my friend Deborah Byrd … Editor-in-Chief of EARTHSKY=>  http://earthsky.org/

I know while you are there you will find all kinds of fascinating information available on Deborah’s site about our Earth & Sky.

SO if you go out and look at the moon tonight, let us know what you saw, what it made you think about and how it made you feel. I’m sure the rest of the C.A.E. Discovery Club gang would love to hear your observations!  Best yet if you took a picture be sure to include it in your post.

Happy sky watching!
