Fools and full moons

A factoid on CNN (yes, a sad source of knowledge) said tonight's (10-10-03) full moon is referred to as a "Hunter's Moon". Has anyone heard of this term/reference before? It sounds cool, but I have never heard of this in the context of a specific full moon (I'd always thought it was any bright night).


Also, my second favorite musical (after Les Mis) is back! "Scarlet Pimpernal" is going to be at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Center at the end of October/beginning of November!!! Woohoo! I'll even be in town! Now to make plans for a dinner at Cafe Provencal and have a totally Frankish evening!

[wrt music: it's the most Franco-soundtrack I had at hand...]

According to this site (http://www.earthsky.com/2000/es001012.html) it is the first full moon after the harvest moon *shrug*

Cool link! That explains the name. I found another link with all the moon names listed:

I'd heard of the Harvest Moon and the January moon as the "Wolf's Moon", but most of these are new. "Worm Moon"? "Pink Moon"? "Beaver's Moon"? Crazy, man!
