  • Full moon phases: Seasonal Blue Moon, Super Moon and Blood Moon are supported
  • Super Moon:
  • The term "super moon" was coined by the astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 and refers to either a New or Full Moon that occurs when the Moon is within 90% of perigee, its closest approach to Earth. Because it is closest to Earth, it looks bigger and brighter.
  • Blood Moon:
  • A "blood moon" happens when Earth's moon is in a total lunar eclipse. 
  • While it has no special astronomical significance, the view in the sky is striking as the usually whiteish moon becomes red or ruddy-brown.
  • Seasonal Blue Moon
  • There are two different definitions for a Blue Moon. A seasonal Blue Moon is the third Full Moon of an astronomical season that has four Full Moons. A monthly Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a calendar month with two Full Moons.
  • The full moon phases can be viewed on the built-in calendar view.
