In 1921 André-Louis Danjon introduced a 5-point scale for measuring the color of lunar eclipses. Click on any day in the January Calendar and get detailed information for that day.
Director, NASA Planetary Science Division: This site is maintained by the Planetary Science Communications team at The Maine Farmer's Almanac first published Indian names for the full Moons in the 1930's, and according to this almanac, this was known as the Snow Moon because of the heavy snows that fall in this season (NOAA long-term monthly averages for the Washington, DC area show January and February nearly tied as the snowiest months of the year). These phases occur at very specific times and are measured by both the Moon’s luminosity and how far along the Moon is in its
The name Blood Moon or Sanguine Moon is also used for the Hunter's Moon (usually in October), either because of the association with hunting or because of the color of the leaves at that time of year.Except when it will be dimmed by the shadow of the Earth, this full Moon will be one of the brightest full Moons of the year. Since China Standard Time is 13 hours ahead of EST, Tuesday, Lunisolar calendars use the cycles of the Moon for the months, but occasionally add an extra or "leap" month to keep the calendar tied to the solar seasons. In addition, full Moons during northern hemisphere winters tend to be brighter, because the Earth and Moon are closer to the Sun and because the full Moon rides higher in the sky. In the Hebrew calendar, days start with sunset, and sundown on In the Islamic calendar the months start with the first sighting of the waxing crescent Moon a few days after the New Moon. The color of the eclipse varies depending upon the sunrise/sunset conditions around the Earth. This page relies heavily on SVG and other features that are not supported in
Researchers have designed an ambitious observing program that will conduct some of Webb's first scientific observations. Scientists have developed a new model that predicted seven out of nine of the Sun’s biggest recent flares.

The term "supermoon" was introduced by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 and has become popular, particularly when it refers to a brighter than usual full Moon.
January, 2019 - Moon Phase Calendar.
Since the Moon’s orbital journey takes a little less than a full month, when you click on future dates you’ll notice that–depending on the exact number of days in that month–the Full Moon occurs a day or two earlier The trio of bright stars called the "Summer Triangle" will be setting in the west, while the bright stars of the local arm of our home galaxy, including the constellation Orion, will be rising in the east.
Near Venus to the lower right, the second brightest planet, Jupiter, will appear about 18 degrees above the horizon. Bad weather and heavy snows made hunting difficult, so this Moon was also called the Hunger Moon. Star cluster NGC 2203 has helped astronomers puzzle together the lifetimes of stars. The planet Saturn will just be rising in the east-southeast, having passed around the far side of the Sun as seen from Earth on Even though they are not visible usually, I include in these Moon missives information about Near Earth Objects (mostly asteroids) that pass the Earth within about 15 lunar distances, because I find it interesting that we have discovered so many. Most of the time the names by European month correspond with the names by season, but right now they are out of sync, and will remain so until the Spring of 2019.In lunisolar calendars the months change with the new Moon and full Moons fall in the middle of the lunar months. The next full Moon will be just after midnight on Monday morning, January 21, 2019, appearing "opposite" the Sun (in Earth-based longitude) at 12:16 AM EST.
