Why would a lunar calendar be inaccurate?
In all lunar calendars the first day of each month depends on the phases of the moon. Some calendars begin their month at the start of the new or dark moon while others do not start the month until the first new crescent moon is observed. The actual time it takes for the moon to go through a complete phase cannot be perfectly subdivided by any full number of days. It takes a little more than 29.5 days for this phase to occur, and, thus, over time, lunar calendars will begin to slip and become more and more inaccurate over time. Increasingly complex fractions and dividing schemes have been created to make lunar calendars more accurate.

On May 5th, 2023, the Moon was at a distance of approximately 357,378 kilometers (221,824 miles) from Earth, which is relatively close in lunar terms, as it coincided with a "supermoon." The Moon's distance from Earth varies due to its elliptical orbit, but on that date, it appeared larger and brighter in the sky.
