Why the full moons land on different dates every year
One lunar cycle averages 29.53 days, so twelve of them take 354.4 days: about 11 days short of the calendar year. Slide the year and watch January's full moon walk backwards until a 13th full moon squeezes in.
2028 has 13 full moons (one month gets two, the popular "blue moon"). The first is on Jan 12 (UTC), 10 days earlier than the first full moon of 2027.

Questions people ask
How many full moons are there in 2028?
13, with two in December (the second is often called a blue moon). The first is on Wednesday, January 12, 2028 and the last on Sunday, December 31, 2028 (UTC dates).
Why can the date differ by one day from other sites?
A phase happens at one instant worldwide, but the calendar date depends on your time zone. The table lists UTC; the printable calendar uses your own time zone once the page loads.
How are these dates calculated?
With the lunar phase algorithm from Jean Meeus’ Astronomical Algorithms (chapter 49), which is accurate to a minute or two for these years. Nothing is copied from a table; your browser computes it.
What do the symbols on the printed calendar mean?
A black disc is a new moon, a white disc a full moon, a disc lit on the right is the first quarter and lit on the left the last quarter, as seen from the Northern Hemisphere.
