About the Last Quarter

At last quarter, also called third quarter, the Moon has completed three quarters of its orbit and again shows a half disc, now lit on the opposite side from first quarter. It rises around midnight, is highest at sunrise and sets around midday, so it belongs to the morning sky and is often seen in daylight before noon.

The terminator again brings craters into sharp relief for anyone up before dawn.

Lore and folklore

The last quarter was the old almanac's time for rest and reflection: good for harvesting, drying and storing, mending fences and turning compost, but not for sowing. Weather lore watched the last quarter for signs of the coming month.

In some traditions the morning half moon was a reminder that the month was ending and debts and quarrels should be settled before the dark of the moon.

Trivia

The last quarter Moon leads the Sun by 90 degrees, so it is due south (or north from the southern hemisphere) at sunrise.
Several Moon missions launched near last quarter so the lighting at the landing site would be favourable a week later.
From the southern hemisphere the last quarter is lit on the right, the mirror image of the northern view.
Half of the Moon is always sunlit; a quarter moon simply shows us half of that half.

This month's full moon: the Pink Moon

Not pink at all: named for the early spring wildflower Phlox subulata, the moss pink, one of the first to bloom in April.

Other names are the Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon and, for coastal tribes, the Fish Moon when shad swam upstream to spawn. In many years the Pink Moon is the Paschal Moon, the first full moon after the March equinox that fixes Easter.

Lore

The moss pink, Phlox subulata, carpets the ground in early spring, and the April moon took its colour. Coastal tribes called it the Fish Moon for the shad run; farmers called it the Egg Moon for the laying season. It was thought a good moon for planting anything that grows above ground.

Trivia

The Pink Moon is often the Paschal Moon that sets the date of Easter.
In 2020 the Pink Moon was the closest supermoon of the year.
Despite the name, the Moon looks pink only when low in hazy or smoky air.

How to read this moon calendar

Each day shows the Moon as it looks from Bole at midday local time, with the illuminated percentage, moonrise and moonset. Days with a principal phase show the exact local time the phase occurs. Because the Moon moves about 50 minutes later each day, roughly once a month there is a date with no moonrise or no moonset at all.
