AUGUST 1: LUGHNASA
Crossquarter Lammas
Not many scientists write about the Celtic cross-quarter days, but this one does. As the former director of the Hansen Planetarium in Utah, he knows his astronomy — and also his weather, his natural history, and other cultures’ practices with respect to the solar year. He writes a newspaper column called “Looking Around” from which this very readable essay is adapted.

Lughnasadh - Wikipedia
The Wikipedia article on Lughnasa is brief compared to its articles on the other cross-quarter days, but it does offer background information and links to related Wikipedia articles.
