Full moon dates for 2019, including October's Hunter's Moon
As one of 12 full moons to admire every year, November's moon was dubbed the Frost Moon by early Native Americans because the winter frosts typically began during this month.
Colonial Americans adopted some of the moon names and applied them to their own calendar system which is why they're still in existence today, according to the Farmer’s Almanac. While February 2018 had no full moon at all, this year's Snow Moon was also the second of three supermoons to occur in 2019. Rising in the sky at 3.53pm, the moon made its closest approach to Earth all year and appeared visibly bigger and brighter to the naked eye.March: Worm MoonAs temperatures warm, earthworm casts begin to appear and birds begin finding food. It's also known as Sap Moon, Crow Moon and Lenten Moon.
This moon is important because it is used to fix the date of Easter, which is always the Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. This year, that moon appeared on Friday April 19, which meant Easter Sunday fell two days later, on Sunday April 21.May: Flower MoonSpring has officially sprung by the time May arrives, and flowers and colourful blooms dot the landscape.
This year, the Thunder Moon coincided with the partial lunar eclipse, otherwise known as the Half Blood Moon. From 9.06pm in the UK, the full moon appeared in the sky, with a reddish glow. The celestial spectacle, otherwise known as a 'blood moon', occurs when the moon moves into the Earth’s shadow. At the distance of the moon this shadow appears like the bull’s eye at the centre of a dartboard.
A monthly blue moon is the name given to a second full moon that occurs in a single calendar month and this typically occurs only once every two to three years.
