The new moon is the opposite of the full moon — the Moon sits between Earth and the Sun and its lit side faces away from us, so it is invisible. New moons in 2030: Jan 4, Feb 2, Mar 4, Apr 2, May 2, Jun 1, Jun 30, Jul 30, Aug 28, Sep 27, Oct 26, Nov 25, Dec 24.
Each month’s full moon has a traditional name from North American and European folklore — January’s Wolf Moon, June’s Strawberry Moon, October’s Hunter’s Moon, and so on.
A Blue Moon is the second full moon in a single calendar month — it happens because the 29.53-day lunar cycle is slightly shorter than most months. 2030 has the usual 12 full moons.
A Supermoon is a full moon that occurs when the Moon is near its closest point to Earth (perigee), making it look slightly larger and brighter. The full moon dates above are calculated to the minute in Universal Time (UTC) using the standard Meeus algorithm.
