How long is a lunar cycle?
A synodic month — new moon to new moon — averages 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes. The true length varies by ±6 hours due to the Moon’s elliptical orbit.
Why does a full moon hurt stargazing?
A full moon brightens the sky enough to drown out faint objects — the Milky Way, meteors, nebulae. The darkest skies come around the new moon.
