Here's how each full moon received its name

About 2023's full moons

You may have heard the full moon gets called a supermoon. We'll explain how and why a full moon can become a supermoon.

2023 was home to 13 full moons, a function of a roughly 29.5-day lunar cycle fitting into the 365 days it takes for the Earth to rotate around the Sun. That brought the blue moon Aug. 30, the second full moon of a month.

Four of the full moons were supermoons: July 3, Aug. 1, Aug. 30 and Sept. 29. During a supermoon, the moon is at its closest distance to the earth.

Dec. 26: Full Cold Moon

When: 7:33 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time

2023 full moons that have already occurred:

Jan. 6: Full Wolf Moon

When: 6:08 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time

Amid the zero-degree cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside villages. It was also known as the Old Moon or the Moon after Yule. In some tribes this was the Full Snow Moon; most applied that name to the next moon.

Feb. 5: Full Snow Moon

When: 1:29 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time

Depending on location, the heaviest snows fall in this month. Much of the Mid-Atlantic falls into this category, as well as the Mid-South.

The snowiest month of the year, on average. The Full Snow Moon historically corresponds to the month of the heaviest snows. However, most of the United States sees their snowiest month of the year in January or December.

Sept. 29: Full Harvest Supermoon

Traditionally, this name goes to the full moon that occurs closest to the fall equinox, which falls this year on Sept. 22. This year's Harvest Moon comes unusually early.

Oct. 28: Full Hunter Blood Moon

When: 4:24 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time

With the leaves falling and the deer fattened, this is the time to hunt. Since the fields have been reaped, hunters can ride over the stubble, and can more easily see the fox and other animals.

Nov. 27: Full Beaver Moon

When: 4:16 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time

At this point of the year, it was time to set beaver traps before the swamps freeze to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now active in their preparation for winter.  

 

"We get so used to the moon and sun being in the sky, but when they actually interact, it kind of brings it home that there is a universe out there doing its own thing."

— Todd Young, Wayne State professor of physics and astronomy
