The Baltimore Sun

The full moon rises over Baltimore at 8:30 this evening. Some sources say the July full moon is the Hay Moon or Thunder Moon. But as the second full moon since the summer solstice, it should be considered the Grain Moon or Green Corn Moon. The confusion arises because we had two full moons in May. That gives us 13 for the calendar year, confounding those who would assign one traditional full-moon name per month. It happens fairly often, in seven years out of every 19.
