Will there be a new supermoon in January 2029?
No, the January 2029 New Moon will not be close enough to the earth to be considered a new supermoon. The New supermoons for 2029 will occur later in the year during the October and November new moons.
A new supermoon is a new moon that nearly coincides with the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its orbit, called perigee. The moon in theory has a larger-than-usual appearance when you look at it. But as you cannot see a new moon, the blank space in the sky would seem larger.
There isn’t an official definition for how close the moon needs to be to the earth to be considered a supermoon. For the purposes of this site, we’ll follow the Timeanddate.com definition using moons less than 360,000 kilometers from the Earth.
