[MD] Full "Strawberry" Moon

[MarshaV]

Jun. 26, 7:30 a.m. EDT

 -- Full Strawberry Moon.  Strawberry picking season peaks during this month.  
Europeans called this the Rose Moon. There will be also be a Partial Lunar 
Eclipse that coincides with moonset from the western and central sections 
of the US and Canada and coincides with moonrise for parts of eastern Asia. 
At its maximum the Moon will be overhead for observers in the South Pacific; 
nearly 54-percent of the Moon's diameter will become immersed in the Earth's 
dark umbral shadow.     



    Child Moon 
        by Carl Sandburg

The child's wonder
At the old moon
Comes back nightly.
She points her finger
To the far silent yellow thing
Shining through the branches
Filtering on the leaves a golden sand,
Crying with her little tongue, "See the moon!"
And in her bed fading to sleep
With babblings of the moon on her little mouth.
