I’m timing posting of this blog entry to coincide with the full moon. Weather permitting, Tuesday Dec. 21 at 3:13 am EST you’ll witness the twelfth 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 three names of December 2010’s full moon.
