Moon over LoHud

We’re on a first-name basis with the moon in my house. Her name is Luna. If you have small children, you will know that comes from the television show “Bear in the Big Blue House.” Bear ends each show by stepping out onto his balcony and recapping his day with Luna.
At home, we don’t talk to the moon but we have been enjoying the large moon rising each night this week as the sun goes down. This month’s full moon (two days ago) is known as the Green Corn Moon.
Then there was this week’s lunar eclipse. I didn’t witness it but if anyone wants to supply a review, feel free to add a comment. Here’s a news story from Australia that features video. MSNBC has a good, online round-up of the event.
