Guru Purnima is celebrated in India as one of the most auspicious days of the Hindu calendar. It is celebrated on purnima or the full moon day in the month of Ashadha (June-July). While social media in India is full of people talking about the significance of Guru Purnima, there is also an unlikely entrant in this list of people tweeting about it. NASA Moon, NASA's official account about the earth's moon, has tweeted about Guru Purnima 2017 too.
In a tweet posted some 16 hours before writing this, NASA Moon talks about the many names given to the full moon this weekend, including Guru Purnima. Other names for Guru Purnima include Hay Moon, Ripe Corn Moon and Thunder Moon. Accompanying the tweet is a stunning picture of the full moon
