Supermoon

These full moons are especially bright and large because they're closer to Earth than your typical lunar sighting—and they can cause higher than usual tides.

Blue Moon

Blue moons aren't actually blue in color. The term refers to any second full moon of the month, according to Earthsky.org. There are also seasonal blue moons, which are considered the third or fourth blue moon in a season. Occasionally, onlookers may see a blue-ish colored moon in the sky, but this occurs very rarely and is due to dust or smoke particles in the sky.

Blood Moon

This full moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse, and radiates red or orange hues.

Harvest Moon

The full moon that's closest to the autumnal equinox is known as the harvest moon. It usually occurs in September, but occasionally you'll see the beauty light up the sky in October.

Strawberry Moon

Another more obvious name here, this June moon occurs when strawberries are in season.

Wolf Moon

This full moon occurs in January—a time when tribes often heard wolves howling outside their villages, according to Farmers' Almanac.

Pink Moon

A pink moon isn't typically a pinkish hue. In fact, this moon, which is visible in April, gets its name from the pink wildflowers, which grow in Canada and the U.S. around this time.
