Harvest Moon 2026
26 September, 16:49 UTC — the full moon nearest the September equinox (23 September), which is what makes it the Harvest Moon rather than a fixed month’s name.
Supermoon 2026
24 December (356,679 km) — full moons inside the 360,000 km line, visibly larger and brighter than average.
Blue Moon 2026
31 May, 08:45 UTC — the second full moon inside a single calendar month, and this one is also a micromoon, the year’s most distant full moon. It will not look blue — the name is calendrical, not optical.
Micromoons 2026
31 May (406,071 km) · 29 June (405,242 km) — full moons beyond 405,000 km, the smallest-looking of the year.

All times UT (UTC), the published minute. Distances are geocentric, at the published instant.
The minutes on this page are the published principal-phase instants of the USNO, Astronomical Applications Department (UT, minute precision), frozen 2026-07-18. LEV also computes every instant independently (Meeus’s standard lunar-phase algorithm); across all 148 published instants of 2025–2027 the two agree within ±60 seconds— the computation cross-checks the table and never replaces a published minute. Distances are LEV’s own computation, verified against JPL Horizons (DE441) to within ~93 km. Full-moon names are traditional North American names as popularised by the Old Farmer’s Almanac. Supermoon and micromoon flags use a common distance definition: a full Moon closer than 360,000 km at the moment it turns full (a micromoon: farther than 405,000 km). Astronomers define the term in several ways; the distance is printed on every row so you can judge each one yourself.
