 Strawberry Moon over the Gulf of Mexico, June 20, 2016 a few hours after the Summer Solstice. THE EARNED RUNS WEBSITE NOW HAS SEARCH CAPABILITY. Each webpage has a box in which you can enter search terms. Your comments are appreciated if you find it is helpful or (shudder) not! Don’t spend too much time online, though. Get out and enjoy running and other summer fun now that the Solstice has passed and the days will start to shorten over the next months. Thankfully this will be imperceptible on a daily basis. Make the most of YOUR summer of 2016!
RUN HAPPY! Read about the rare happening of a Strawberry Moon (full moon in June) co-incident with the June Solstice in the Washington Post article by Jason Samenow: "A Rare Coincidence: the full 'Strawberry Moon' Meets the Summer Solstice". It's been described as a once-in-a-generation astronomical event. "This coming together hasn’t happened since 1967, recalled by some as the “Summer of Love,” and won’t occur again until June 21, 2062 (using Universal Time), according to EarthSky.org." The image above was taken just as the moon was rising over the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas coast on Monday evening, a bit before 9pm. I was too busy chasing down a place to best view it to check the time exactly. The Solstice had occurred about 5:34pm CDT. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2016/06/20/a-rare-coincidence-the-full-strawberry-moon-meets-the-summer-solstice/
