See the Moon phase expected for October 26, 2026 as well as when the next Full Moon is expected.
On October 26, 2026, the Moon will be in its Full Moon phase, with 100% of its surface visible. This means that during the night of October 26, some parts of the United States will see the Moon reach its peak just after midnight, while others will experience the full moon in the evening of October 25.
To spot some lunar features on the Moon's surface, you might be able to see the Copernicus Crater, Tycho Crater, and the Mare Crisium with the naked eye. If you have binoculars, you can also spot the Endymion Crater, the Alphonsus Crater, and the Grimaldi Basin. For those with a telescope, you will be able to see the Apollo 15 and 16 landing spots, as well as the Caucasus Mountains.
The next Full Moon will occur on November 24, 2026. The Moon takes approximately 29.5 days to orbit Earth and its appearance changes throughout the month due to its varying position relative to Earth and the Sun. The eight Moon phases are: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
