About the Moon Calendar 2020
One lunar cycle from new moon to new moon lasts 29.53 days, so a calendar year usually holds 12 and occasionally 13 full moons — in 2020 there are 13. Traditional full moon names such as Wolf Moon or Harvest Moon come from North American and European farmers' almanacs and name the full moon of each month.
Lumeries calculates every date for 2020 astronomically with the SunCalc library, referenced to Central Europe (Berlin). If a phase falls around midnight it may land on the neighbouring day in the Americas or Asia. The day pages show illumination in percent and the zodiac sign of the date.
