The moon will be 100% full Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 10:05 A.M. Las Vegas time.<\/p>\n

From Western Washington University:
\n\u201cAmerican Indians gave names to each of the full moons to keep track of the passing year. The names are associated with the entire month until the next full moon occurs. Since a lunar month averages 29 days, the dates of the moons change from year to year. Here are titles most closely associated with calendar months<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Native American Creek (Southeast, Alabama, Georgia) refer to the August full moon as: \u201cbig ripening moon.\u201d No name is given for the August moon in the Creek language. (Nor is there a name given for the tea-house.)<\/em><\/p>\n

From The Old Farmer’s Almanac:
\nFull Sturgeon Moon
\nSome Native American tribes knew that the sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this full Moon. Others called it the Green Corn Moon or the Grain Moon.<\/p>\n

All About the Moon, by Bob Berman – Source: The 2005 Old Farmer’s Almanac.
\nHere are some interesting facts from The Old Farmer’s Almanac:<\/a><\/p>\n

“With plans in the works for man to return to the Moon by 2020, what better time to review some Moon facts about our favorite celestial body?”
\nDiameter<\/strong>: 2,160 miles
\nThis is about the distance from Washington, D.C., to the Rocky Mountains.
\nAverage Orbital Speed<\/strong>: 2,287 miles per hour
\nThis number is very close to the Moon’s diameter, making it the only known celestial body that moves through space at its own width per hour. This motion is readily visible from Earth, even to the naked eye, as the Moon shifts its position against the background stars.
\nSynodic Period<\/strong>, or Lunar Month: 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, 2.8 seconds
\nThis is the average period from one new Moon to the next. read more from The Old Farmer’s Almanac<\/a><\/p>\n
