About the First Quarter

At first quarter the Moon has completed a quarter of its orbit, and exactly half of the visible disc is lit: the right half in the northern hemisphere, the left in the southern. It rises around midday, is highest at sunset and sets around midnight, which makes it the most convenient phase for evening observing.

Along the terminator, the line between light and dark, the low Sun casts long shadows that make craters and mountains stand out sharply in binoculars.

Lore and folklore

Half moons stood for balance and decision in many traditions: half light, half dark. Farmers' almanacs treated the first quarter as a strong growing time, good for planting crops that bear seed inside the fruit, such as beans, peppers and tomatoes.

Weather lore held that a sharp, clear half moon foretold fine weather, while a blurred one meant rain.

Trivia

The name is about the orbit, not the appearance: a quarter of the way around, half of the face lit.
The straight-looking terminator is a great circle seen edge-on.
At first quarter the Moon is about 90 degrees east of the Sun, which is why it is high overhead as the Sun goes down.
The Apollo landing sites are easiest to study near the terminator, when shadows reveal the terrain.

This month's full moon: the Hunter's Moon

The first full moon after the Harvest Moon, when fields were cleared and game was easy to spot and fatten for winter.

Also called the Blood Moon or Sanguine Moon in some traditions, from the hunt rather than from eclipses. It shares the Harvest Moon habit of rising soon after sunset for several nights.

Lore

With the fields cleared after harvest, game was easy to spot by the light of October's moon, and the season of laying in meat for winter began. The Blood Moon and Sanguine Moon names come from that hunt, not from eclipses. In Britain the same moon was sometimes the Dying Grass Moon.

Trivia

The Hunter's Moon is always the full moon after the Harvest Moon, so it moves to November when the Harvest Moon is in October.
It shares the Harvest Moon's early-rising trick for several evenings.
In some years the Hunter's Moon is a supermoon, appearing especially large as it rises.

How to read this moon calendar

Each day shows the Moon as it looks from Hetauda 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.
