Will there be a blue moon in 2027?

Yes, the May 2027 full moon will be a seasonal full moon because there will be 4 full moons during the Spring 2027 season. There will not be a traditional full blue moon in 2027 as all months will have 1 full moon. No month in 2027 will have two full moons.

The 2027 seasonal blue moon will be on Thursday May 20, 2027 as the third full moon of the Summer 2027 season.

There are two definitions of blue moons. The most common, and the one you likely know is when two full moons occur in the same month. The second full moon is typically called a blue moon.

The second definition of a blue moon relates having an extra full moon during a season. When a season has four full moons, the third full moon of the season is also called a blue moon, or a seasonal blue moon to help distinguish between the other definition.

When are the full supermoons in 2027?

In 2027 there will be one full supermoon: January 22, 2027. The January full moon will be the Full Wolf moon.

A full supermoon is a full moon that nearly coincides with the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its orbit, called perigee. The moon has a larger-than-usual appearance when you look at it. There isn’t an official definition for how close the moon needs to be to the earth to be considered a supermoon. For the purposes of this site, we’ll follow the Timeanddate.com definition using moons less than 360,000 kilometers from the Earth.

The full moon in February will be just beyond the 360,000 kilometers distance from the earth. So it will be large and depending on the distance you reference it could also be been considered a supermoon.

When are the lunar eclipses in 2027?

In 2027 there will be two lunar eclipses. The first will be a penumbral lunar eclipse as part of the February Full Moon on February 20, 2027, 10 minutes before the peak of the full moon.
