Full Blue Moon
Hike
Join Darke County Parks for a hike under the light of the second full
moon of January! We’ll meet at Worth Family Nature Preserve on
January 31st at 6pm for a walk in the woods.
While commonly referred to as a "blue moon", it depends on the
definition you wish to use. The original definition referred to the
unusual 3rd full moon in a given season (so no blue moon for winter
2018); but the more colloquial meaning of a blue moon refers to the
second full moon of a month... which would mean we will have a blue
moon in Jan 2018 AND March 2018! To continue the uniqueness of this Jan
31st full moon... it's also a Total Lunar Eclipse and will result in a
"blood moon"! Sadly, in Ohio, we will only see the very beginning of
this "bloody blue moon" just as the moon sets, with the most visibility
occurring at January 31 at 6:48am. Wow!
Join us at on the 31st at 6pm at Worth Family Nature Preserve.
Bring a flashlight and dress for the weather. Please call the Nature
Center at 937-548-0165 to confirm if the weather is of concern.
Directions can be found on our website at darkecountyparks.org.
