The waxing gibbous moon of Friday, Feb. 7 will appear unusual as it crosses the meridian shortly after 8 p.m. local standard time.

From central Florida and southern Texas , the moon will even pass north of the point directly overhead (the zenith) The moon can range even farther to the north and south than the sun because its orbit is inclined 5.1 degrees to the ecliptic.

In special years the moon can attain unusually high or low altitudes in our sky.

The full moon of June 11 will nearly coincide with the date when the moon will run exceptionally low.

The moon's altitude above the southern horizon will measure only about 20 -degrees as seen from mid-northern latitudes.

Guy Ottewell of Great Britain , who is the author of " Astronomical Calendar ," has pointed out that the popular term "honeymoon" may have evolved from the low journey that the June full moon takes across the sky.
