Notes and context
- The Moon reaches full phase roughly once a month, with the exact date drifting slightly due to the lunar orbit. Several calendars and astronomy sites publish precise UTC times for each full Moon; local viewing times will depend on your time zone and local sunset/s Moonrise moments. For example, several sources list August 28 and September 26 as notable full Moon dates for 2026, including common names like Sturgeon Moon and Harvest Moon.[3][6][7]
- Some articles highlight particular full Moon events in 2026, such as a Blue Moon occurrence or the alignment of other planets during a full Moon, which can affect visibility and sky conditions in your area.[6][7]
If you’d like, I can:
