When is the supermoon in 2026?

The closest full moon of 2026 is the Cold Moon on Thursday, December 24, 357,616 km from the Earth. That’s the one usually called a supermoon.

What is a blue moon?

Usually, the second full moon in one calendar month. It happens about every two or three years; in 2026 it’s on Sunday, May 31 (UTC). The moon doesn’t look blue.

Why does the moon have phases?

The sun always lights half of the moon. As the moon goes round the Earth, every 29.5 days, we see more or less of that lit half: none at new moon, when it’s between us and the sun, and all of it at full moon, when it’s on the far side of us from the sun.
