A full moon has not occurred on Halloween since 2001 and will not occur again until 2039

Stargazers are in for a treat when a blue moon lights up the night sky on Halloween, the first time that has happened in nearly 20 years.


A full moon has not occurred on All Hallow's Eve since 2001 and will not occur again until 2039, according to the Farmer's Almanac. A blue moon is the second full moon in a month, NASA explains on its website.

The first full moon happened on Oct. 1, 2020, a harvest moon, appearing "opposite" the Sun (in Earth-based longitude) at 5:05 p.m. EDT.
