2015 Full Moon Calendar
by Tim Sharp, Reference Editor | September 11, 2015
Editor's note: The next solar eclipse will occur on Sunday, Sept. 13, 2015. It will be a partial solar eclipse that will be visible primarily from South Africa and Antarctica. The next lunar eclipse will be a total lunar eclipse on Sept. 27. It will occur while the moon is at perigee, making it a rare Supermoon Blood Moon lunar eclipse. Such an event won't happen again until 2033.
The moon shows its full face to Earth once a month. Well, sort of. In fact, when things are perfectly aligned and the moon would be 100 percent full, there is a lunar eclipse, so in reality the moon is never perfectly full. And sometimes — once in a blue moon — it is full twice in a month. |
