This Thursday (12), the couples of Brazil celebrate the “Valentine’s Day”. And the sky presents lovers with the full June moon, called “strawberry moon”.
According to the astronomical observation guide Inhesky.orgThe full phase of the moon started at 4:43 (GMT) on Wednesday (11), which ended with incredible records, some of which are checking below.
But why “strawberry moon”?
According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac (Almanac of the Old Farmer), one of the most traditional publications in the United States aimed at life in the countryside, the full moon every month of the year has its own designation.
Although the name “strawberry” seems to indicate a change in the color of the natural satellite of the Earth, the nickname is actually related to the strawberry harvesting period in this country and was elected by native peoples who went to the countryside to plant fruits, vegetables and vegetables.
July, for example, marks the moment when male deer horns grow, so the full moon next month is “deer”. The horns of these animals go through an annual fall and regeneration cycle, increasingly depending on age.
