Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on October 20, 2026
See the Moon phase expected for October 20, 2026 as well as when the next Full Moon is expected.
As of Tuesday, October 20, 2026, the Moon is in the Waxing Gibbous phase, with 65% of its surface visible from Earth. This means that tonight, skywatchers should have a good opportunity to spot several notable features on the lunar surface without the aid of visual aids. These features include the Mare Crisium, the Tycho Crater, and Mare Fecunditatis.
For those with binoculars, additional craters such as the Endymion Crater, the Alphonsus Crater, and the Appenine Mountains can also be observed. If you have access to a telescope, you'll be able to see even more, including the Apollo 15 and 16 landing spots and the Rima Hyginus. The next Full Moon is expected to occur on October 25 or 26, depending on your specific timezone.
