June’s Full Moon is the “Flower Moon”, “Strawberry Moon”, “Honey Moon”, “Rose Moon”, “Hot Moon”, “Planting Moon”, or “Wat Poornima”.
In the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year when the Sun is farthest north. In the southern hemisphere, winter and summer solstices are exchanged. The summer solstice marks the first day of the season of summer. The declination of the Sun on the (northern) summer solstice is known as the tropic of cancer (23° 27′).

July’s Full Moon is the “Hay Moon”, “Buck Moon”, “Thunder Moon”, “Mead Moon”, or “Guru Poornima”.
This meteor shower is the remnants of two different comets. Though it runs from July 12 through August 23, it will peak overnight on July 28th with up to 20 sightings per hour. The meteors will appear to come from the Aquarius constellation.
August’s Full Moon is the “Grain Moon”, “Sturgeon Moon”, “Red Moon”, “Green Corn Moon”, “Lightning Moon”, “Dog Moon”, or “Narali Poornima”.
These meteors are leftovers from Swift-Tuttle comet and are a favorite among many skywatchers. The shower can be visible from July 17th through August 24th, and will peak overnight on August 12th at 60 sightings per hour. Unfortunately, the light from the moon will wash out many of the meteors, though the brightest should still be visible.
Venus and Jupiter are the brightest planets in the sky and will be 0.25 degrees away from one another, which is less than the width of the moon. They will be best viewed before sunrise.
