FAQ

Do I need to observe at the exact phase time?

No. The phase has an exact time, but the Moon’s shape changes gradually. Near a quarter, it looks half-lit for about a day on either side, and a crescent grows or shrinks only a little from one night to the next.

Why is the Full Moon on a different date in other cities?

The Full Moon happens at one moment worldwide, but local clocks put it on different dates. For example, the Full Moon of February 10 in New York falls on February 11 in Sydney.

What is the February Full Moon called?

The Full Moon of February 10 is traditionally called the Snow Moon. These names come from North American tradition and follow Northern Hemisphere seasons, so in the Southern Hemisphere they don’t match the season.
