We hereby give this month's full moon a new name: Fist-Shaking Moon. That's because this full moon is now filling the sky with its light, just as the Perseid meteor shower is rising to its peak on the mornings of August 11, 12 and 13. Yes, the moon will wane in the coming days. But a full moon now means a last quarter moon on August 11. And a last quarter moon is a pretty bright moon, rising at midnight, just as the night's meteor-watching kicks into full gear.
