This is a reddish moon from some other month.

Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - FULL STURGEON MOON coming to a sky near you tomorrow night.  This is just a warning.

August 1, 2012 - 11:27 p.m. EDT --Full Sturgeon Moon, when this large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, such as Lake Champlain, is most readily caught. A few tribes knew this moon as the Full Red Moon because when the moon rises, it appears reddish through sultry haze (in 2012, The Old Farmer’s Almanac gives this moniker to the full moon of Aug. 31). Other variations include the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.

Another warning:  On August 31, 2012 - we will have a BLUE MOON - the second full moon in a month.  oh boy!  later, djb
