Strawberry Moon
The Strawberry Moon will
appear close enough tonight
that George Baily can pull her
on in
appear close enough tonight
that George Baily can pull her
on in
Remember, George Baily?! Yeah, that guy!
Tonight is the night he would’ve been able to give Mary the moon! And this wouldn’t be just any ol’ moon. It would be the Strawberry Moon. The Strawberry Moon has a pink color, which all the girls like.
So you know with the color and the fact that it is the moon, ol’ George, there, would be the envy of all the men folks throughout time.
If such a thing did occur, George would have to give thanks to none other than the moon, the sun, and the earth.
The angles at which the moon and sun are position, as they move around the earth, is why the Strawberry Moon will appear so close that a fella like, ol’ George, there, could just rope it and reel it in for his ol’ lady, Mary, to take home.
According to the folks over at the Griffith Observatory, the magnificent sight we’re getting tonight is due to the moon’s and sun’s angles totaling 28.5 degrees.
The moon’s angle will be 5 degrees and the sun’s angle will be 23.5 degrees. Whenever the moon’s and sun’s orbits total 28.5 degrees, a major lunar standstill occurs.
A major lunar standstill occurs whenever the moon rises at the highest point in the sky. The moon’s angle reaches its highest point every 18.6 years. Based on the math, the year 2043 is the next time you fellas can try roping her on in for one of your ol’ ladies to have!
Oh yeah, a note to all you farmers out there! Don’t forget, according to the Algonquin Tribe , tonight is the night when the berries will be ripe. So if you have some strawberries, get to picking!
It’s nothing like a freshly made strawberry shortcake!
