What time does the moon rise in Papeete tonight?

When is the supermoon in 2026?
The closest full moon of 2026 is the Cold Moon on Wednesday, December 23, 357,616 km away: the one usually called a supermoon. A full moon that close looks about 14% wider than one at its farthest.
Is there a blue moon in 2026?
Yes: the Saturday, May 30 full moon is the second in the month in Papeete, which is what a blue moon usually means. It isn’t blue.
Why does the moon look the other way round in Papeete?
From the southern hemisphere you see the moon from the other side of the Earth, so it’s turned over: a growing moon is lit on the left, and the seas are upside down compared with pictures from Europe or North America. The discs on this page are drawn as they look from here.
How accurate are these times?
Moonrise and moonset are when the top edge of the moon meets a flat, clear horizon, worked out from the moon’s position to within two or three minutes. Hills, buildings and haze can hide it for a while longer. Phase times are within a few minutes.
