This full moon 2024 calendar will assist you in scheduling the upcoming full moons in 2024. A full moon occurs when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, causing the moon to appear completely illuminated when viewed. It occurs about once a month, or every 29.53 days on average.
There will be 12 full moons in 2024. Each month will have one full moon. There will be four supermoons in August, September, October, and November. The August full moon will be considered a seasonal blue moon as the third full moon in a season with four full moons (the summer season runs from June 20th to September 22nd). There will be two lunar eclipses in 2024.
Here are the dates and times for each Full Moon for 2024.
The names of the 2024 full moons are as follows:
Hungry wolf packs howled throughout January.
The most snow usually falls in February in the Northern Hemisphere.
Earthworms emerge from the soil in spring.
The full moon coincides with the early spring blooms of the eastern North American native wildflower, Phlox subulata. The moon does not become pink!
The flower moon represents the flowers that bloom this month.
The strawberry moon denotes the ripening of “June-bearing” strawberries, which are ready for harvest.
In July, male deer (or bucks) that shed their antlers each year begin to regrow them.
August was the best month to catch sturgeon in Northeastern America.
The moon shines brightly and rises early near the September equinox, allowing farmers to continue harvesting into the night.
October is an excellent month for hunting because animals begin to fatten up in preparation for winter hibernation..
In November, beavers begin to hide in their lodges, having stored enough food for the winter..
The temperature drops significantly in December.
A super full moon occurs when the moon is at its closest approach to the Earth. It appears larger and brighter than a typical full moon (although you can hardly distinguish it with naked eye).
A penumbral lunar eclipse will occur on March 25, 2024, and a partial lunar eclipse will occur on September 18, 2024.
