Explanation:
The first
Full Moon of 2023
is in
the sky tonight
opposite the Sun at 23:08
UTC.
Big and beautiful, the Moon at its
brightest phase should be easy to spot.
Still, for quick reference images captured near the times of
all the full moons of 2022 are aranged in this
dedicated astro-imaging project
from Sri Lanka, planet Earth.
The day, month, and a traditional popular name for 2022's twelve full moons
are given in the chart.
The apparent size of each full moon depends
on how close the full lunar phase is to
perigee or apogee,
the closest or farthest point in the Moon's elliptical orbit.
Like the 2022 Wolf Moon at the 1 o'clock position,
tonight's Full Moon occurs within a about two days of apogee.
But unlike in 2022,
the year
2023
will have 13 full moons that
won't all fit nicely on the twelve hour clock.
