苺月

ハフポスト日本版編集部「ストロベリームーンとは? 今夜は満月。「赤く」なるわけではない?」https://www.huffingtonpost.jp/entry/story_jp_5ed99afbc5b63809310ee121


6月5日から6日にかけての月は「「夏至」に一番近い満月」であり、ストロベリー・ムーンと呼ばれる。これは元々アルゴンキン族の言い方であり、アルゴンキン族にとって、この時期は野苺の収穫の季節であるため。
Forrest Brown “Strawberry Moon 2018: What is it? And when is the best time to see this full moon?”*1によれば、


So you're not disappointed or confused, first things first: The moon isn't going to actually look like a big round strawberry. That's because in North America, the name comes from Algonquin tribes of Native Americans. This full moon was their sign to harvest wild strawberries, says the Old Farmer's Almanac.
This has other names in other parts of the world. In Europe, you may hear it called the Honey Moon, Mead Moon or the Full Rose Moon. In the Southern Hemisphere, it can go by Oak Moon, Cold Moon or Long Night Moon, according to EarthSky.org*2.
さて、「ストロベリームーン」は雲に霞んでいた。
