New moon, full moon, days of the first and last quarters of the moon are considered the time of enhanced interaction between the sun and the moon. In the lunar calendar for May 2021, various events have a definite effect on the nature and man around. Moon Calendar Without Course for May 2021
During these phases of the moon, care and attention should be exercised. * Unfavorable days of the lunar calendar are lunar days when tense aspects of 0 (conjunction), 90 (square) or 180 (opposition) degrees are formed between the Sun and the Moon. These are good phases of the moon for starting new business and making important decisions. We’re still not sure on why this occurs, but a popular opinion is that our brain will compare the Moon with distant objects on the horizon (such as masts or buildings) and fool us into thinking it’s much larger.* Auspicious days of the lunar calendar are lunar days when harmonious aspects of 60 (sextile) or 120 (trine) degrees are formed between the Sun and the Moon.
Unfortunately, it’s just our human eyes playing tricks, but it’s still cool. The Moon illusion is when the Moon appears much bigger during moonrise and moonset, as it’s low on the horizon. And because June’s full Moon reaches perigee soon after moonrise, it’s likely we may see the Moon illusion in play this month. This effect is amplified further when the Moon is on the horizon, thanks to something called the 'Moon illusion'. This is the much less impressive micromoon.Ī supermoon is around 7 per cent larger and 15 per cent brighter than a standard full Moon, or 14 per cent bigger and 30 per cent brighter than a micromoon.

When the Moon reaches perigee at the same time as a full Moon, we get a supermoon and the Moon appears larger in the sky. This point has a name, and it’s called the perigee. What causes a supermoon?Ī supermoon occurs when the Moon, which orbits the Earth in an elliptical (oval) orbit, is at its closest point to Earth along this orbital path. The July and August full Moons, the Buck Moon and Sturgeon Moon, are both supermoons. This means that we often see two or three full supermoons in a row. Supermoons are classified when the Moon is at 360,000km (or less) away from Earth in its orbital path. Yes, the Strawberry Moon in 2022 is a supermoon, and it’s also the first supermoon of the year. The name ‘mead Moon’ is also used, and refers to the time when honey can be harvested in preparation for fermenting to make mead. In Europe, it’s also known as the Rose Moon, roses being currently in abundance across the UK, and other names include ‘the Moon of the peach’, the ‘Moon of the crane’ and the ‘hot Moon’. This was the name universal to every Algonquin tribe in eastern North America and Canada.
June’s full Moon is known by many different names, but it’s most commonly known as the Strawberry Moon, thanks to the ripening of the berries at this time. Here is Bristol, it’s looking dry with a light cloud cover, so fingers crossed! Why is it called the Strawberry Moon? So, weather permitting, we should be treated to a nice, full supermoon close to the horizon. After this, the Moon will start to get further away again. At its closest point, the Moon will be 357,435km away from the Earth, which is the closest perigee of the year. The Moon will rise in the southeast at 10:02pm and will reach its closest point, the perigee at 00:23am BST in the early hours of 15 June 2022. As this is during daylight hours, and well after the Moon has set at 4:11am (from our point of view in the UK), the best time to see the Strawberry Moon will be in the evening of 14 June just after moonrise. The Strawberry Moon this year will reach peak illumination at 12:51pm, in the early afternoon of Tuesday 14 June.
