Heya 7chan! (^-^*)/



October is going to be a fun month for us moon and sky watchers! It all starts on the first of October when we finally say hello to the Full Harvest Moon at 5:05PM EST. As you may have read in last months post, normally the harvest moon would have been in September or the full moon closest to the fall equinox. That was just not the case this year. Then comes the Orionid meteor shower which peaks on the 21st-22nd. You can expect to see 10-20 meteors an hour when looking towards that constellation. Then finally comes the super spoooooky and veeeeerrry rare Full Hunters Blue Moon. How rare? In the United States there hasn't been a Full Moon on Halloween visible across all times zones since 1944! I am going to make a note to make the Full Hunters moon post on Halloween a few days in advance so people can prepare and I can tell you all about the fun and skeerrry stuff I am planning! ^(#｀∀´)_Ψ



In Japan on October 1st, there will be an annual moon viewing festival called "Tsukimi" or literally moon-viewing. Originally thought to have been started by wealthy aristocrats in the Heian era, it is now widely celebrated throughout Japan. Taro, edamame, sake and those little yummy gooey rice balls "mochi" will be consumed in an abundance during this time.



Isn't the weather outside getting super nice?! I hope we really get a nice fall this year with beautiful colors and foliage. I don't want it to go to winter just yet!!! There is still soooo much stuff I want to do when its warm! Whatcha all doing for fun in this beautiful weather?! Have a nice viewing!!! <3
