Tonight there was a blue moon. It turns out that this is the term for a calendar month that has two full moons in it. Whilst looking into why we call it a blue moon I discovered that apparently there is a name given to each full moon throughout the year:
January: the Wolf Moon
February: the Snow Moon
March: the Worm Moon
April: the Pink Moon
May: the Flower Moon
June: the Strawberry Moon
July: the Buck Moon
August: the Sturgeon Moon
September: the Harvest Moon
October: the Hunter's Moon
November: the Beaver Moon
December: the Cold Moon
Apparently the names were attributed by native Americans (Guardian).
