when is next full moon

The next full moon after today (February 9, 2026) is the March 2026 Full Moon , also known as the Worm Moon.

Exact date and time

• Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2026
• Peak illumination: around 6:38 a.m. EST (11:38 UTC).

• In many other time zones it will fall on March 3 as well, just at different local times (e.g., mid‑morning in Europe, late night March 2 in some Pacific regions).

What to expect

• This full moon is sometimes called the Worm Moon , a traditional name linked to early‑spring soil activity and emerging earthworms.

• It will also coincide with a total lunar eclipse , so the Moon may briefly turn a reddish “blood moon” color for viewers in the right parts of the world.

Viewing tips

• The Moon will look visibly full for a night or two before and after March 3, so you don’t need to catch the exact peak moment.

• For precise local moonrise/moonset and eclipse visibility, you can plug your city into a sky‑watching site or app (such as Time and Date or astronomy‑app tools).

If you tell me your time zone or city, I can give you the local clock time for that next full moon and whether the eclipse will be visible where you are.
