Want to know when the full moon or new moon is? Our 2024 lunar calendar reveals the dates. There will also be two solar and two lunar eclipses in 2024.

Our lunar calendar shows the date of all full and new moons in 2024. At full moon, the moon is opposite the sun as seen from Earth and also appears more or less "full" on the nights before and after.

The new moon, on the other hand, is between the sun and the earth and therefore remains invisible.

The duration of a complete moon phase from full moon to full moon or from new moon to new moon is around 29 1/2 days. This is slightly shorter than the duration of most months, so that the moon phases slowly shift forward in relation to the calendar.
