Full moons come round every 29.5 days — the length of the lunar cycle — so the date drifts about a day earlier (or 10–11 days later) from one month to the next. A month with two full moons hosts a blue moon; a full moon near the Moon's closest approach to Earth is a supermoon, a touch larger and brighter than average. When a name is listed above, that month's moon carries a traditional full moon name — click through for its origin and lore.
