🌙 About the Lunar Cycle
The Moon completes one full orbit around Earth every 29.53 days (a synodic month). During this time, we observe 8 distinct phases as the angle between the Moon, Earth, and Sun changes.
There are typically 12–13 full moons per year. When two full moons occur in the same calendar month, the second is called a Blue Moon.
