Full moom tonight full#
July's full moon falls in the middle of the sixth month of the Chinese calendar, Tammuz in the Hebrew calendar and Dhu al-Hijjah - the 12th and final month of the Islamic calendar. July's moon also marks the beginning of a three-month annual Buddhist retreat called Vassa. Theravada Buddhists may call July's moon the Asalha Puha (also known as Dharma Day or Esala Poya - a festival celebrating Buddha's first sermon, NASA said). Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains may call July's moon the Guru Full Moon (Guru Purnima), "celebrated as a time for clearing the mind and honoring the guru or spiritual master," NASA said. Europeans sometimes call this the Hay Moon due to the haymaking season that falls between June and July. Here are some examples of the cultural significance of July's full moon according to NASA (opens in new tab): July's full moon is not just an impressive skywatching target but is also an important event in many different cultures worldwide. Espanak's definition of a supermoon as a full moon within 90% of its closest approach to Earth gives us four to view this year. 
According to the Farmer's Almanac (opens in new tab) and Fred Espanak (opens in new tab), eclipse expert and retired NASA astrophysicist, there are four supermoons in 2022, in May, June, July and August. Supermoons occur when the full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth in its orbit - known as perigee. Looking for a telescope for the next stargazing event?
