Full Moon Names for 2009
Did you know that Native Americans had a name for each full moon during the year? In fact, the names they gave each moon, such as Full Wolf Moon, Full Flower Moon or Full Corn Moon coincided with what was happening around them in nature.
For example, the Full Wolf Moon got its name because it occurred in the midst of winter when Native Americans could hear the wolves howling outside their village.
Space.com has a full listing of the moons for 2009. It’s a pretty interesting read and I recommend it for amateur astronomers and anyone interested in Native American culture.
