June’s Full “Strawberry” Moon is also a ‘supermoon,’ the second one of 2022. It reaches peak illumination at 7:52 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 14th, but its golden face won’t be viewable over North America until just after sunset as it rises in the southeastern sky. It will however appear full from Sunday evening through Wednesday morning, … and by the way, it won’t be ‘pink.’ 🌝
April’s “Pink Moon,” the first of the astronomical spring for the Northern Hemisphere is sometimes called the Frog Moon, the Breaking Ice Moon, and the Budding Moon. The first full moon occuring on or after the March vernal equinox is also known as the “Paschal Moon” of Easter! The word, “Paschal,” derived from the Greek and Latin word, Pascha, means Passover…
This full “Paschal” moon of Saturday, the 16th, reaches peak illumination at 2:57 P.M. EDT, but won’t appear in the sky until it cracks the horizon’s crust just after sunset..
March’s “Full Worm Moon” rises around 8:00 p.m. EDT over the east coast of the U.S. on the evening of Friday, March 18, 2022, and will shine in the sky all night!
This last full moon of winter comes just before the Spring Equinox on March 20th. Enjoy!
Positively Moonstruck!
