Full Moon

Observing

Once in a Blue Moon? You only have to wait until 31 July

29 July 2015 Ade Ashford

If you are waiting for that ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ opportunity to do something special or unusual, you don’t have too long to wait — according to one definition, the next arrives at 11:43am BST on Friday, 31 July!

Eclipse

3 April 2015 Ade Ashford

Fifteen days after its crucial rôle in the total solar eclipse of March 20th, its the Moon’s turn to shine — or, rather, fade — as it passes into the shadow of the Earth on Saturday, 4th March, producing a total lunar eclipse best seen from Australasia.

Observing

5 March 2015 Ade Ashford

If you feel that tonight’s rising Full Moon is that bit smaller than usual then you’d be right, for this is a so-called Micromoon — one that occurs close to the point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth.

8 December 2014 Ade Ashford
