Thesupermoonof 14 November 2016 was 356,511 km (221,526 mi) away[1]from the center of Earth. Supermoons occur 3–4 times per year.[2]
As the Earth revolves around the Sun, approximateaxial parallelismof the Moon's orbital plane (tiltedfive degrees to theEarth's orbital plane) results in the revolution of thelunar nodesrelative to the Earth. This causes aneclipse seasonapproximately every six months, in which alunar eclipsecan occur at the full moon phase.

Thefull moonis thelunar phasewhen theMoonappears fully illuminated from Earth's perspective. This occurs when Earth is located between theSunand the Moon (when theecliptic longitudesof the Sun and Moondiffer by 180°).[3]This means that the lunar hemisphere facing Earth—thenear side—is completely sunlit and appears as an approximately circular disk. The full moon occurs roughly once a month.

The time interval between a full moon and the next repetition of the same phase, asynodic month,averages about 29.53 days. Because of irregularities in the moon's orbit, the new and full moons may fall up to thirteen hours either side of their mean. If the calendar date is not locally determined through observation of the new moon at the beginning of the month there is the potential for a further twelve hours difference depending on the time zone. Potential discrepancies also arise from whether the calendar day is considered to begin in the evening or at midnight. It is normal for the full moon to fall on the fourteenth or the fifteenth of the month according to whether the start of the month is reckoned from the appearance of the new moon or from the conjunction.[4]Atabular lunar calendarwill also exhibit variations depending on the intercalation system used. Because a calendar month consists of awhole numberof days, a month in a lunar calendar may be either 29 or 30 days long.

Characteristics

[edit]

A full moon is often thought of as an event of a full night's duration, althoughits phaseseen from Earth continuously waxes or wanes, and is full only at the instant when waxing ends and waning begins. For any given location, about half of these maximum full moons may be visible, while the other half occurs during the day, when the full moon is below the horizon. As the Moon's orbit is inclined by 5.145° from the ecliptic, it is not generally perfectly opposite from the Sun during full phase, therefore a full moon is in general not perfectly full except on nights with alunar eclipseas theMooncrosses the ecliptic at opposition from the Sun.

Manyalmanacslist full moons not only by date, but also by their exact time, usually inCoordinated Universal Time(UTC). Typical monthlycalendarsthat include lunar phases may be offset by one day when prepared for a differenttime zone.

The full moon is generally a suboptimal time forastronomical observationof the Moon because shadows vanish. It is a poor time for other observations because the brightsunlight reflectedby the Moon, amplified by theopposition surge,thenoutshinesmany stars.

Moon phases

[edit]

There are eight phases of the moon, which vary from partial to full illumination. The moon phases are also calledlunar phases.These stages have different names that come from its shape and size at each phase. For example, the crescent moon is 'banana' shaped, and the half-moon is D-shaped. When the moon is nearly full, it is called a gibbous moon. The crescent and gibbous moons each last approximately a week.[5]

Each phase is also described in accordance to its position on the full 29.5-day cycle. The eight phases of the moon in order:[5]

  • new moon
  • waxing crescent moon
  • first quarter moon
  • waxing gibbous moon
  • full moon
  • waning gibbous moon
  • last quarter moon
  • waning crescent moon

Formula

[edit]

The date and approximate time of a specific full moon (assuming a circular orbit) can be calculated from the following equation:[6]

wheredis the number of days since 1 January 2000 00:00:00 in theTerrestrial Timescale used in astronomicalephemerides;forUniversal Time(UT) add the following approximate correction tod:

days

whereNis the number of full moons since the first full moon of 2000. The true time of a full moon may differ from this approximation by up to about 14.5 hours as a result of the non-circularity of the Moon's orbit.[7]SeeNew moonfor an explanation of the formula and its parameters.

The age and apparent size of the full moon vary in a cycle of just under 14synodic months,which has been referred to as afull moon cycle.

Lunar eclipses

[edit]

When the Moon moves intoEarth's shadow,alunar eclipseoccurs, during which all or part of the Moon's face may appear reddish due to theRayleigh scatteringof blue wavelengths and therefractionofsunlightthroughEarth's atmosphere.[8][9][10]Lunar eclipses happen only during a full moon and around points onits orbitwhere thesatellitemay pass through the planet's shadow. A lunar eclipse does not occur every month because the Moon's orbit isinclined5.145° with respect to theeclipticplane of Earth; thus, the Moon usually passes north or south of Earth's shadow, which is mostly restricted to thisplane of reference.Lunar eclipses happen only when the full moon occurs around eithernode of its orbit(ascending or descending). Therefore, a lunar eclipse occurs about every six months, and often two weeks before or after asolar eclipse,which occurs during anew moonaround the opposite node.

In folklore and tradition

In Buddhism,Vesakis celebrated on the full moon day of the Vaisakha month, marking the birth, enlightenment, and the death of the Buddha.[11]

In Arabic, badr (بدر ) means 'full moon', but it is often translated as 'white moon', referring toThe White Days,the three days when the full moon is celebrated.

Full moons are traditionally associated withinsomnia(inability to sleep),insanity(hence the termslunacyandlunatic) and various "magical phenomena" such aslycanthropy.Psychologists, however, have found that there is no strong evidence for effects on human behavior around the time of a full moon.[12]They find that studies are generally not consistent, with some showing a positive effect and others showing a negative effect. In one instance, the 23 December 2000 issue of theBritish Medical Journalpublished two studies on dog bite admission to hospitals in England and Australia. The study of theBradford Royal Infirmaryfound that dog bites were twice as common during a full moon, whereas the study conducted by the public hospitals in Australia found that they were less likely.

Symbol of the Triple Goddess

The symbol of theTriple Goddessis drawn with the circular image of the full moon in the center flanked by a left facing crescent and right facing crescent, on either side, representing a maiden, mother and crone archetype.[13]

Full moon names

[edit]

Historically, month names are names of moons (lunations,not necessarily full moons) inlunisolar calendars.Since the introduction of the solarJulian calendarin the Roman Empire, and later theGregorian calendarworldwide, people no longer perceive month names as "moon" names. The traditionalOld English month nameswere equated with the names of the Julian calendar from an early time, soon afterChristianization,according to the testimony ofBedearound AD 700.[citation needed]

Some full moons have developed new names in modern times, such as "blue moon",as well as" harvest moon "and" hunter's moon "for the full moons of autumn.

Lunar eclipsesoccur only at a full moon and often cause a reddish hue on thenear side of the Moon.This full moon has been called a blood moon in popular culture.[14]

Harvest and hunter's moons

[edit]
"Harvest moon" and "Hunter's moon" redirect here. For other uses, seeHarvest moon (disambiguation)andHunter's moon (disambiguation).
A harvest moon. Its orange color is due to greaterRayleigh scatteringas the Moon appears close above the horizon, rather than being unique to harvest moons.[15]

The "harvest moon" and the "hunter's moon" are traditional names for the full moons in late summer and in the autumn in theNorthern Hemisphere,usually in September and October, respectively.[16]People may celebrate these occurrences in festivities such as the ChineseMid-Autumn Festival.

The "harvest moon" (also known as the "barley moon" or "full corn moon" ) is the full moon nearest to theautumnal equinox(22 or 23 September), occurring anytime within two weeks before or after that date.[17]The "hunter's moon" is the full moon following it. The names are recorded from the early 18th century.[18]TheOxford English Dictionaryentry for "harvest moon" cites a 1706 reference, and for "hunter's moon" a 1710 edition ofThe British Apollo,which attributes the term to "the country people" ( "The Country People call this the Hunters-Moon." ) The names became traditional inAmerican folklore,where they are now often popularly attributed toNative Americans.[19]TheFeast of the Hunters' Moonis a yearly festival inWest Lafayette, Indiana,held in late September or early October each year since 1968.[20]In 2010 the harvest moon occurred on the night of the equinox itself (some 51⁄2hours after the moment of equinox) for the first time since 1991, after a period known as theMetonic cycle.[21][22]

All full moons rise around the time of sunset. Since the Moon moves eastward among the stars faster than the Sun, lunarculminationis delayed by about 50.47 minutes[23](on average) each day, thus causing moonrise to occur later each day.

Due to the highlunar standstill,the harvest and hunter's moons of 2007 were special because the time difference between moonrises on successive evenings was much shorter than average. The moon rose about 30 minutes later from one night to the next, as seen from about 40° N or S latitude (because the full moon of September 2007 rose in the northeast rather than in the east). Hence, no long period of darkness occurred between sunset and moonrise for several days after the full moon,[24]thus lengthening the time in the evening when there is enough twilight andmoonlightto work to get the harvest in.

Native American

[edit]
"Snow Moon" redirects here. For the song by Adonxs, seeAge of Adonxs.

Various 18th and 19th century writers gave what were claimed to beNative AmericanorFirst Nationsmoon names. These were not the names of the full moons as such, but were the names of lunar months beginning with eachnew moon.According toJonathan Carverin 1778, "Some nations among them reckon their years by moons, and make them consist of twelve synodical or lunar months, observing, when thirty moons have waned, to add a supernumerary one, which they term the lost moon; and then begin to count as before." Carver gave the names of the lunar months (starting from the first after theMarch equinox) as Worm, Plants, Flowers, Hot, Buck, Sturgeon, Corn, Travelling, Beaver, Hunting, Cold, Snow.[25]Carver's account was reproduced verbatim inEvents in Indian History(1841),[26]but completely different lists were given by Eugene Vetromile (1856)[27]andPeter Jones(1861).[28]

In a book on Native American culture published in 1882,Richard Irving Dodgestated:[29]

There is a difference among authorities as to whether or not the moons themselves are named. Brown gives names for nine moons corresponding to months. Maximillian gives the names of twelve moons; and Belden, who lived many years among the Sioux, asserts that "the Indians compute their time very much as white men do, only they use moons instead of months to designate the seasons, each answering to some month in our calendar." Then follows a list of twelve moons with Indian and English names. While I cannot contradict so positive and minute a statement of one so thoroughly in a position to know, I must assert with equal positiveness that I have never met any wild Indians, of the Sioux or other Plains tribes, who had a permanent, common, conventional name for any moon. The looseness of Belden's general statement, that "Indians compute time like white people," when his only particularization of similarity is between the months and moons, is in itself sufficient to render the whole statement questionable. My experience is that the Indian, in attempting to fix on a particular moon, will designate it by some natural and well-known phenomenon which culminates during that moon. But two Indians of the same tribe may fix on different designations; and even the same Indian, on different occasions, may give different names to the same moon. Thus, an Indian of the middle Plains will to-day designate a spring moon as "the moon when corn is planted;" to-morrow, speaking of the same moon, he may call it "the moon when the buffalo comes." Moreover, though there are thirteen moons in our year, no observer has ever given an Indian name to the thirteenth. My opinion is, that if any of the wild tribes have given conventional names to twelve moons, it is not an indigenous idea, but borrowed from the whites.

Jonathan Carver's list of purportedly Native American month names was adopted in the 19th century by theImproved Order of Red Men,an all-white U.S. fraternal organization. They called the month of January "Cold moon", the rest being Snow, Worm, Plant, Flower, Hot, Buck, Sturgeon, Corn, Travelling, Beaver and Hunting moon. They numbered years from the time ofColumbus'sarrival in America.[30]

InThe American Boy's Book of Signs, Signals and Symbols(1918),Daniel Carter Beardwrote: "The Indians' Moons naturally vary in the different parts of the country, but by comparing them all and striking an average as near as may be, the moons are reduced to the following."[31]He then gave a list that had two names for each lunar month, again quite different from earlier lists that had been published.

The 1937Maine Farmers' Almanacpublished a list of full moon names that it said "were named by our early English ancestors as follows":[32]

Winter Moons: Moon after Yule, Wolf Moon, Lenten Moon
Spring Moons: Egg Moon, Milk Moon, Flower Moon
Summer Moons: Hay Moon, Grain Moon, Fruit Moon
Fall Moons: Harvest Moon, Hunter's Moon, Moon before Yule

It also mentionedblue moon.These were considered in some quarters to be Native American full moon names, and some were adopted bycolonial Americans.[33]TheFarmers' Almanac(since 1955 published in Maine, but not the same publication as theMaine Farmers' Almanac) continues to print such names.[34][35]

Such names have gained currency inAmerican folklore.They appeared in print more widely outside of the almanac tradition from the 1990s in popular publications about the Moon. Mysteries of the Moonby Patricia Haddock ( "Great Mysteries Series", Greenhaven Press, 1992) gave an extensive list of such names along with the individual tribal groups they were supposedly associated with.[36]Haddock supposes that certain "Colonial American" moon names were adopted fromAlgonquian languages(which were formerly spoken in the territory of New England), while others are based in European tradition (e.g. the Colonial American names for the May moon, "Milk Moon", "Mother's Moon", "Hare Moon" have no parallels in the supposed native names, while the name of November, "Beaver Moon" is supposedly based in an Algonquian language). Many other names have been reported.[37]

These have passed into modern mythology, either as full-moon names, or as names for lunar months. Deanna J. Conway'sMoon Magick: Myth & Magick, Crafts & Recipes, Rituals & Spells(1995) gave as headline names for the lunar months (from January): Wolf, Ice, Storm, Growing, Hare, Mead, Hay, Corn, Harvest, Blood, Snow, Cold.[38]Conway also gave multiple alternative names for each month, e.g. the first lunar month after thewinter solsticecould be called the Wolf, Quiet, Snow, Cold, Chaste or Disting Moon, or the Moon of Little Winter.[38]: 19 For the last lunar month Conway offered the names Cold, Oak or Wolf Moon, or Moon of Long Nights, Long Night's Moon, Aerra Geola (Month Before Yule), Wintermonat (Winter Month), Heilagmanoth (Holy Month), Big Winter Moon, Moon of Popping Trees.[38]: 247 Conway did not cite specific sources for most of the names she listed, but some have gained wider currency as full-moon names, such as Pink Moon for a full moon in April,[38]: 77 [39]Long Night's Moon for the last in December[40]and Ice Moon for the first full moon of January or February.[41]

Lunar and lunisolar calendars

[edit]
Main article:Lunar calendar
The December 2015 full moon coincided with Christmas.[45]This last occurred in 1977 (for the American timezones). A small horizontallibrationis visible comparing their appearances. By the 19-yearmetonic cyclethe full moon will repeat on Christmas Day in 2034, 2053, 2072, and 2091.[46]

Most pre-modern calendars the world over werelunisolar,combining the solar year with the lunation by means ofintercalary months.[47][48]The Julian calendar abandoned this method in favour of a purely solar reckoning while conversely the 7th-centuryIslamic calendaropted for a purely lunar one.

A continuing lunisolar calendar is theHebrew calendar.Evidence of this is noted in the dates ofPassoverand Easter in Judaism and Christianity, respectively. Passover falls on the full moon on 15 Nisan of the Hebrew calendar. The date of the JewishRosh HashanaandSukkotfestivals along with all otherJewish holidaysare dependent on the dates of the new moons.[49]

Intercalary months

[edit]
Main article:Intercalary month

In lunisolar calendars, an intercalary month occurs seven times in the 19 years of theMetonic cycle,or on average every 2.7 years (19/7). In theHebrew calendarthis is noted with a periodic extra month ofAdarin the early spring.

Meetings arranged to coincide with full moon

[edit]

Before the days of good street lighting and car headlights, several organisations arranged their meetings for full moon, so that it would be easier for their members to walk, or ride home. Examples include theLunar Society of Birmingham,severalMasonicsocieties, includingWarren Lodge No. 32,USA andMasonic Hall, York,Western Australia, and severalNew Zealand local authorities,includingAwakino,[50]Ohura[51]andWhangarei CountyCouncils[52]andMaori Hill[53]andWanganuiEast Borough Councils.[54]
