Aliases of the Super Moon

Did you see the super moon last night? If you want to know more about the full moons, here's an article at Space.com about the unusually named moons this year, including the Full Worm Moon, the Full Buck Moon, and the Full Hunter's Moon. There's also an explanation of each name, plus a brief recounting of who came up with these names (largely the Algonquin tribes plus some European settlers to the US).

These names will get a poet thinking, that's for sure.
