Hello! It’s June, and it’s beginning to feel a little tropical outside. Astronomically, summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere in June, when the Earth’s axis is pointed directly at the sun. Otherwise known as the summer solstice, this occurs for us on the 20th, and it’s the longest day of the year. This month also provides us with some epic skygazing, as June hosts an exquisite moon! The Strawberry Moon will grace the sky on June 11, reaching its peak radiance at 2:46 a.m. (CDT).

LETTER FROM AN EDITOR

Ever since I was a teenager, one of my favorite holidays has been May Day—the first of May. This holiday has the wonderful distinction of syncretism between the European pagan traditions that celebrate the return of spring, and the more-recent International Workers’ Day—both known as May Day. May Day (the pagan holiday) comes with its vernal traditions of flower crowns and maypoles garlanded with trailing ribbons. May Day (the workers’ holiday) is observed with marches and demonstrations.
