Did you know?
A full lunar cycle lasts about 29.5 days. That is why the Moon does not show exactly the same appearance from one civil month to another, and why full moon and new moon dates keep changing.
Lunar calendar FAQ December 2028
How do I read the lunar calendar for December 2028?
Each day shows a representation of the Moon, its visibility level, and, on some dates, labels indicating a particular event. Current-month boxes are highlighted, while days from the previous or next month remain visible to keep full weeks.
What do the moon types shown in the calendar mean?
The labels indicate the Moon position in its cycle.
- New moon: the visible face is almost completely in shadow.
- Waxing crescent: a thin bright crescent appears and illumination increases.
- First quarter: about the right half of the Moon is illuminated.
- Waxing gibbous: more than half is illuminated, before full moon.
- Full moon: the visible disk is fully illuminated.
- Waning gibbous: illumination decreases after full moon.
- Last quarter: about the left half remains illuminated.
- Waning crescent: the illuminated part gets thinner before the next new moon.
Why does Moon visibility increase and then decrease?
The Moon does not produce its own light: it reflects sunlight. Depending on the relative positions of Earth, Moon, and Sun, the illuminated visible portion gradually changes, from 0% near new moon to 100% at full moon.
What do the labels shown on some days mean?
When the month includes a notable event, the calendar marks it directly on the relevant date: supermoon, micromoon, blue moon, black moon, or lunar eclipse. This makes special moons easy to spot at a glance.
