2022 Moon Phases: Dates of the year’s new, first, full, and last quarter moons
The 2022 Moon Phases schedule helps you look back at the dates of the new, first quarter, full, and last quarter moons of the past. When were the 4 core phases of the lunar calendar in 2022? Check out the dates below.
A new moon is the first lunar phase that happens about once a month or, 29.53 days on average. The moon itself is not visible though you may be able to “see” it because it blocks the visibility of the stars behind it.
A full moon occurs when the Earth is directly between the Sun and Moon so that the moon looks completely illuminated when you look at it. It happens about once a month or, 29.53 days on average.
The first quarter moon occurs between the new moon and full moon. The last quarter moon occurs after the full moon and before the next new moon.
The dates and times provided by NASA in the United States Eastern Time (ET) account for both Eastern Standard Time (EST) and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) for part of the year in the United States. Also below is the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time. This was previously referred to as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Since you may be in a different time zone, the exact dates may shift slightly for your calendar.
