Moon of the Shedding Ponies is an Oglala term. Used by the Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples, among others, this name came about because ripe strawberries were ready to be gathered at this time.
Similarly, Berries Ripen Moon is a Haida term. Blooming Moon Anishinaabe is indicative of the flowering season. The Tlingit used the term Birth Moon , referring to the time when certain animals are born in their region. At this time, the antlers of bucks male deer are in full growth mode. Other animal-related names include Feather Moulting Moon Cree and Salmon Moon , a Tlingit term indicating when fish returned to the area and were harvested.
Lake sturgeon, found in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain, as well as in several rivers, were once much more abundant. These large some more than 6 feet long! Captain Jonathan Carver came across this term for the lunar month during his travels in the s. Flying Up Moon is a Cree term describing the time when young birds are ready to fly.

Revealing craters and seas up close, this little telescope comes with a carry case and moon map. Many cultures have given distinct names to each month's full moon. The names were applied to the entire month in which each occurred.
The Farmer's Almanac lists several names that are commonly used in the United States. There are some variations in the moon names, but in general, the same ones were used among the Algonquin tribes from New England on west to Lake Superior. European settlers followed their own customs and created some of their own names. Other Native American people had different names.
He also lists them on his website, AmericanIndian. Amateur astronomer Keith Cooley has a brief list of the moon names of other cultures , including Chinese and Celtic, on his website. Full moon names often correspond to seasonal markers, so a Harvest Moon occurs at the end of the growing season, in September or October, and the Cold Moon occurs in frosty December. At least, that's how it works in the Northern Hemisphere.
According to Earthsky. The moon is a sphere that travels once around Earth every It also takes about 27 days for the moon to rotate on its axis.
So, the moon always shows us the same face; there is no single "dark side" of the moon. As the moon revolves around Earth, it is illuminated from varying angles by the sun — what we see when we look at the moon is reflected sunlight.
On average, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, which means sometimes it rises during daylight and other times at night. At new moon, the moon is between Earth and the sun, so that the side of the moon facing toward us receives no direct sunlight, and is lit only by dim sunlight reflected from Earth. A few days later, as the moon moves around Earth, the side we can see gradually becomes more illuminated by direct sunlight.
This thin sliver is called the waxing crescent. A week after the new moon, the moon is 90 degrees away from the sun in the sky and is half-illuminated from our point of view — what we call first quarter because it is about a quarter of the way around Earth.
A few days later, the area of illumination continues to increase. More than half of the moon's face appears to be getting sunlight. People are rarely outside these days so it's easy to miss. I do't know the conditions for this to occur. I have returned to the spot on dozens of full moons and have been dissappointed each time. I have seen those last year in no4 t h dakota. How is it caused? I've seen too many weird phenomena in the last couple years to even look anymore. It was just in the winter time but this year the moon jumps around.
I've only seen what your talking about once around 3 am. It actually looked like every beam was focusing on a street light straight up in the air above the tops of them. I'm not too sure what I see most often is the real moon anymore to be honest.
I've watched the full moon set on top of a cell phone tower it's never on the right place in the sky maybe a few times a week.
I don't believe that the stars are like our sun. On top of the tower there were lights I could only see out of the corner of my eye. I have watched shuttles slingshot off the moon too in 15 minute intervals I watched 5. It looks like a star rising from the moon and shooting off or dissappear ingredients only 1 at a time but for a minute there was 2.
I find the angle of the sun and moon highly unbelievable if light moves in a straight line. Truth is there's no such thing as a straight line as all motion is relative the earth is as much the center of the universe as any other point. I believe our universe is shaped like a magnetic field.
Like all energy I believe light circles back to the source. Why is it always the side half of th e moon th at we see?. If The earth turned on 3 axis instead of one it would look like one to us as lon as rhey areally balanced.
I think the earth used to move half a spin on one axis. A third of a turn on another and a quarter turn on another. Hence why there are 13 moon phases in a year. A third minus a quarter is a twelfth. And a full rotation around the sun means it turned 13 times. Even the way scientists explain the earth would only spin It feel good to gain knowledge and through this blog I am gaining a lot of informative knowledge. Recently, a huge disaster happens in Japan like earthquake and tsunami.
Many scientists claims that it happens because moon is coming near to earth. Is it true? Hello, Divya, The Moon's position may cause higher than usual tides but there is not a scientific connection between the Moon's position and extreme weather or Japan's earthquake.
To quote NASA astronomer, "At the time of the earthquake in Japan, the moon was actually closer to its furthest point in orbit from Earth than it was to its March 19 closest point, so the gravitational effect of the moon was, in fact, less than average at that time.
It was basically a normal day on Earth as far as the lunar gravity and tidal forces were concerned. Where science is defined as that which is known, I'm thinking that the statement "there is not a scientific connection between the Moon's position and extreme weather or Japan's earthquake" is valid, inasmuch as there is no known connection.
