The username perihare combines the words perilune and hare as a reference to a common folktale in East Asian culture about a rabbit who lives on the moon.In this story, a monkey, an otter, a jackal and a rabbit were asked to offer food to the immortals on the night of a full moon. Unlike the other animals, the rabbit could not hunt and gather a sufficient offering, so it threw itself into a fire instead as an act of self sacrifice. This moved the immortals to spare the virtuous rabbit from the fire, bringing it to the moon instead where it can be seen making medicine and rice cakes to this day.The word perilune describes the point at which a spacecraft's orbit is closest to the moon, making it the ideal place to catch a glimpse of the hare from the story.
