Flower Moon and Lunar Folklore

According to lunar folklore, the full moon of May is the Flower Moon. Between the evening of August 11 2022 and the morning of August 12 we can see the last supermoon of 2022. The next one will rise in August 2023. The side of the moon that faces Earth will be fully illuminated by the sun, because the moon arrives at a position opposite the Sun. This allows the Sun’s light to fully fall on the area of the moon facing our planet. A Full Moon is six times as bright as the Half Moon.

Recently I re-read one of best known Romanian folktales, Youth Without Age and Life Without Death, and something about the way time unfolds jabbed at my mind, yet only when I remembered Schrödinger’s Cat did it all fall into place.
