   When does the Moon appear full?

   • The Moon appears full when it reaches the halfway point of its orbit—that is, when it is directly opposite the Sun, with Earth in between. Due to its position opposite the Sun, the full moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. The cycle of lunar phases lasts close to a month, at 29.5 days, a period known as the synodic month.

   When does the full moon take place?

   • It officially takes place over the weekend of June 21 and 22, although you'll be able to see about 97% of its luminosity on June 20 and June 23. Coincidentally, that means the full moon is taking place at the same time as the summer solstice. Read more: A Thermonuclear Space Explosion Could Create a New Star in the Night Sky

   How often does a full moon occur?

   • Thus, the full moon occurs typically once per calendar month, but, when the full moon happens within the first two days of a given month, a second full moon may occur within the same month. This phenomenon, known as a “ blue moon ,” occurs on average about once every 33 months, though there have been years in which two blue moons have occurred.

   Is a full moon always full?

   • Most of the time, the full moon isn't perfectly full. We always see the same side of the moon, but part of it is in shadow, due to the moon's rotation. Only when the moon, Earth and the sun are perfectly aligned is the moon 100% full.

   Is June 20 a full moon?

   • June 20 features a waxing gibbous at 97% luminosity to a full moon, while June 23 will be a waning gibbous with 97% luminosity to a full moon. What all of that means is that the moon will either be full or look full for the next four days.

   When does a full moon rise?

   • Each full moon is calculated to occur at an exact moment, which may or may not be near the time the moon rises where you are. So when a full moon rises, it’s typically doing so some hours before or after the actual time when it’s technically full, but a casual skywatcher won’t notice the difference.
