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., midâmorning 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 earlyâspring soil activity and emerging earthworms.
- It will also coincide with a total lunar eclipse , so the Moon may briefly turn a reddish âblood moonâ 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 donât need to catch the exact peak moment.
- For precise local moonrise/moonset and eclipse visibility, you can plug your city into a skyâwatching site or app (such as Time and Date or astronomyâapp 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.
