The moon, for the month of May is at its fullest at 4:08am
on Tuesday the 17th.
On May 17th, the sun sets at 7:47 pm and the moon rises at
8:32 pm.
This is just about the best night to view the moon at its
fullest is just after it rises today! Come join us for a
meet-n-greet in the evening and to watch the full moon rise over
the mountains. The event begins at 7:17 pm (thirty minutes before
the sun sets) and the event will end at 10:02 pm (ninety minutes
after the moon rises).
Please do bring your bugs and coins for trading, discovering, or
just to show them off. There are no food or beverages nearby, so if
it's a little chilly BYOHC, Though recent events people have
brought snacks, beverages, and (cold) pizza to share with all.
Please remember to dress appropriately for the temperature and
weather conditions, as this event is outdoors and rain or shine.
The terrain is mostly dirt shoulder/pullout parking so wheelchairs
may find it difficult, but the location is suitable for handicapped
viewing the full moon from a vehicle.
It is interesting to note that often, calendars indicating moon
phases may be off by a day when intended for use in a different
time zone. Don't be late or you just might miss out on this magical
time as the sun sets and the full moon rises.
