Summer nights: ten places to experience La Luna del Cervo
Summer nights: ten places to experience La Luna del Cervo
This coming 10 July promises to be an unforgettable evening, thanks to the moon, which will be full. Not only that. A powerful celestial event is approaching, namely the Deer Moon, an appellation given by the American Indians who defined July's Moon according to the nature of the month. In July, young male deer begin to grow new antler antlers, which by the end of the month will be fully formed and begin to harden. In the lower areas, hay was cut, while in the higher areas, summer storms began, which is why the full moon was also called the Hay Moon or Thunder Moon. The full moon in July is also called the 'Harvest Moon': not only for the harvesting of grain, but also for the harvesting of herbs, fruit and vegetables, many of which are then preserved for the winter. The phenomenon, which is repeated every year, is an opportunity to observe our satellite in all its beauty. In fact, if the sky is clear, the almost orange Moon will be visible around 8.37 p.m. and during the night it can be admired with the naked eye. But it will also be spectacular the day before and the day after. To admire it at its best, it is advisable to find a place with an unobstructed horizon and possibly far from city lights. Here are some dates dedicated to its best viewing.
