Although technically a supermoon only lasts for an instant, they can appear full for up to three days when seen with the naked eye. The recent Strawberry Moon took place in June 2022 and remained clear to see for a few nights afterwards.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon will reach its peak on Wednesday July 13th at 7.37pm. At that point, it will be below the horizon, so those who want to see it are advised to look towards the southeast after sunset to watch it rise.

How often does a full moon occur?

A full moon occurs every 29.5 days and happens when the Moon is completely illuminated by the Sun's rays. It occurs when the Earth is directly aligned between the Sun and the Moon. While most years see 12 full moons, some years have 13. This means that some months will see two full moons, with the second known as a blue moon. This is the origin of the phrase "once in a blue moon".

A full moon appearing twice in the same month is a blue moon, and this typically occurs only once every two to three years. In 2020, the Hunter's Moon on October 31 was a blue moon because it is the second full moon to occur in October.
