I’m timing the posting of this blog entry to coincide with the full moon. Weather permitting, Monday March 29 at 10:25 pm EST you’ll witness the third full moon of 2010.

Joe Rao, SPACE.com columnist, instructor at New York's Hayden Planetarium and meteorologist for News 12 in Westchester, New York, explains in http://www.space.com/spacewatch/full-moon-names-2010-100127.html how full moons get their names throughout the year from Native America traditions.

This extra Qudoku puzzle set challenges you to discover the four names of March 2010’s full moon.
