Moon phases in September 2029
The full moon falls on 22 September 2029.
Phases
Perigee and apogee
| Event | Date and time (UTC) | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Perigee | 361,339 km | |
| Apogee | 405,989 km |
The Moon's distance varies by more than 40,000 km over a month. At perigee the disc appears about 14% wider than at apogee — a difference that is obvious in a photograph and almost impossible to judge by eye, since there is nothing in the sky to compare it to.
Times from an ELP-derived lunar theory, accurate to within one arcminute. Watch the phase change in the live simulation. A new moon is when a solar eclipse becomes possible; a full moon, a lunar one.
