Stargazers are in for a treat on Thursday when the harvest moon lights up the sky.
“The next full moon will be on Thursday afternoon, Oct. 1, 2020, appearing “opposite” the Sun (in Earth-based longitude) at 5:05 p.m. EDT,” explains NASA, on its website. “The moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Wednesday morning through Saturday morning.”
According to Old Farmer’s Almanac, the harvest moon is the full moon closest to the beginning of fall or the autumnal equinox.
“During the harvest season farmers sometimes need to work late into the night by the light of the moon,” explains NASA on its website. “The full moon rises an average of 50 minutes later each night, but for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the moon seems to rise at nearly the same time: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the northern USA, and only 10 to 20 minutes later farther north in Canada and Europe.”
October is also a “blue moon” month, according to the space agency, with the second full moon, or “blue moon” occurring on Oct. 31. “In recent years, people have been using the name Blue moon for the second of two full moons in a single calendar month,” said NASA. “An older definition of Blue moon is that it’s the third of four full moons in a single season.”
Last year, the harvest moon fell on Friday the 13th of September. The full moon was the first to occur on Friday the 13th for almost 20 years.
Having a full moon on Halloween in all United States time zones is quite unusual! The last time that happened was 76 years ago in 1944. It has occurred over some time zones of the United States 19 years ago in 2001.
After this Halloween full moon, you will have to wait a while for the next one! The next full moons on Halloween will occur in 2039, 2058, 2077 and 2096, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.
Last month’s full moon, which occurred on Sept. 2, was the full Corn Moon

“The next full Moon will peak after midnight on Wednesday morning, Sept. 2, 2020, appearing ‘opposite’ the Sun (in Earth-based longitude) at 1:22 a.m. EDT,” explains NASA, on its website. “The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Monday evening through Thursday morning.”
Citing the Maine Farmer’s Almanac NASA notes that Algonquin tribes in the northeastern U.S. called the September full moon and last full moon of summer the corn moon. “This was the time for gathering their main staple crops of corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice,” the space agency explains.

The word “eclipse” is sure to get amateur astronomers around the country excited. Pair that with the Fourth of July, and we’ve got twice the reason to stay up late and look toward the skies!
According to NASA the penumbral lunar eclipse will begin at 11:07 p.m. EDT on Saturday, July 4, reach its peak around 12:30 a.m. Sunday and wrap up at 1:52 that same morning. The entire process will be visible across most of the United States.
By definition, a penumbra is a partially shaded outer region of a shadow. See the above breakdown, showing the umbral vs. penumbral shadow during a solar eclipse. A penumbral shadow is not nearly as dark; it’s more like the fringe of a shadow.
To lessen the impact further, this will also be a partial eclipse, meaning the entire moon won’t be affected.
NASA describes the result as a subtle gradient, with the moon remaining overall bright in appearance.
Regardless of if you notice the shadow or not, we can expect a beautiful full moon to light up the sky alongside fireworks this holiday. Known as a the Buck Moon, the Thunder Moon and the Rose Moon, it will be completely full just after the peak of the eclipse at 12:44 a.m. EDT, according to NASA.
The next time we see a full moon on the Fourth of July won’t be until the year 2031!
The last full moon of winter will light up the sky this weekend.
According to Old Farmer’s Almanac, March’s supermoon is called the Super Worm Moon.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says the moon will appear full from Sunday night, March 8 but will officially peak Monday, March 9 at 1:48 p.m.
According to NASA, the moon got its name from native tribes in the northern and eastern United States.
NASA says the Worm Moon is the most widely-used name, but it’s also known as the Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Sap Moon and Sugar Moon.
The space agency says a supermoon occurs when the moon is closest to the Earth in its elliptical orbit, which makes the moon appear brighter and larger than usual.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says this full moon will be the first of three supermoons in 2020. The other two will occur in April and May.
Unusually warm temperature’s for early January have broken 2 station record as well as tied and broke official airport records.
