Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on October 24, 2026
See the Moon phase expected for October 24, 2026 as well as when the next Full Moon is expected.
On October 24, 2026, the Moon will be in the Waxing Gibbous phase, with 95% of its surface visible. This means that a large portion of the Moon's illuminated side is visible from Earth. Tonight, without the use of visual aids, skywatchers should be able to spot several significant features on the Moon's surface. These include the Mares Imbrium, Serenitatis, and Fecunditatis, which are large basins or plains on the Moon.
With binoculars, observers may also see the Endymion Crater, Alphonsus Crater, and the Mare Nectaris. For those with telescopes, the Apollo 16 and 17 landing sites, as well as the Schiller Crater, will be visible. The next Full Moon is expected to occur on October 25 or 26, depending on the time zone.
