How these dates were made: each date is computed with low-precision lunar theory (Kepler solutions for the Sun and Moon, plus the principal perturbation terms) — the same algorithm that powers the tonight calculator. Dates are shown in UTC; in the Americas the visibly full moon often falls on the previous evening. Checked against published 2026 full-moon schedules (Astronomy magazine, Farmer's Almanac): all 13 computed instants land on the correct UTC calendar date. See methodology.

Planning dark-sky nights? The best stargazing falls in the week around the new moon, when moonlight doesn't wash out faint stars and the Milky Way. Full-moon weeks are for moonlit walks — and for photographing the moon itself.
