To keep on the theme of the moon, the next few xeets will be about the different names used around the world to refer to the monthly full moons...of which there can be 13 per year (once every 3 years).

#moon #generalknowledge #tradition I'm going to name the moons in reverse starting with the 13th. A 13th full moon is sometimes seen in a year because the moon takes around 29.5 days to circle the earth (lunar month). This Moon is only known as a Blue Moon throughout the world.
