On what dates will there be supermoons in 2024?

A supermoon occurs when the full moon occurs at perigee: the point where the Moon is closest to the Earth.

When the full moon is close to that point, it is seen from Earth looking larger and brighter because of its closer proximity, thus producing a supermoon.

This phenomenon stands out for occurring only a few times a year as a celestial visual spectacle.

According to the site tutiempo.net, in 2024 there will be supermoons on the following dates:

  • Friday, February 9, 2024
  • Sunday, March 10, 2024
  • Monday, April 8, 2024
  • Monday, August 19, 2024
  • Wednesday, September 18, 2024
  • Thursday, October 17, 2024
  • Friday, November 15, 2024

WHAT IS A BLUE MOON?

As the cycle of the phases of the moon lasts approximately one month, we typically experience 12 full moons each year. Many cultures have given distinct names to each month’s full moon. 12 months, 12 full moons, 12 names. Simple right?

Well, not quite. Here’s where the Blue Moon comes into the equation. 

The moon phases actually take 29.5 days to complete which means it takes just 354 days to complete 12 lunar cycles. So every 2.5 years or so a 13th full moon is observed within a calendar year. 

This 13th full moon doesn’t conform to the normal naming scheme and is referred to as the Blue Moon. 

HOW OFTEN DO BLUE MOONS OCCUR?

Contrary to the popular phrase “once in a blue moon”, Blue Moons can occur relatively frequently, that is, in astronomical terms. 

Blue Moons occur once every two to three years, according to NASA. As there are roughly 29.5 days between full moons, February will never experience a monthly Blue Moon as it only has 28 days in a common year and 29 in a leap year. Sometimes February doesn’t have a Full Moon at all, this is known as a Black Moon, according to Time and Date.

Blue Moons occur once every two to three years.

WHEN ARE THE NEXT MONTHLY AND SEASONAL BLUE MOONS?

The next seasonal Blue Moon will take place on Aug. 19/20, 2024.  

The next monthly Blue Moon is on May 31, 2026, according to Time and Date. 

WHEN WAS THE LAST BLUE MOON?

The last Blue Moon was on Aug. 30, 2023.
