All these weirdo pagan sounding names for a full moon. When I was a kid we only heard abut a full moon, a harvest moon or a Comanche moon.

A new fad I guess.

Not a new fad, just better methods of communication. Most of us only knew about moon names from our parents or the Farmer’s Almanac. Now they get names from everything from the Chinese zodiac to astrophysicists. You could call it rayleigh scattering but blood moon was coined before they understood what that was. It’s also called a flower moon in the farmer’s almanac because it arrived when flowers were blooming. When you see something like a Super Flower Blood Moon they are combining names.

My favorite is the Worm Moon.

Somehow, they know.
