The moon, for the month of June is at its fullest at 1:13
pm on Wednesday the 15th.
On June 15th, the sun sets at 8:04 pm and the moon rises at
8:15 pm.
This is just about the best night to view the moon at its
fullest, after it rises today! Come join us for a meet-n-greet in
the evening and to watch the full moon rise over the San Gabriel
mountains. The event begins at 7:34 pm (thirty minutes before the
sun sets) and the event will end at 9:45 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 at recent events people have
brought snacks, beverages, and (cold) pizza to share with all. If
you plan on bringing something to share, be sure to post it in a
note. 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.
