Full moon calendar 2026–2027
A full moon is a single moment, the same for the whole Earth; only the date and clock time change with the time zone. The full moons left in 2026 fall on October 26 at 12:12 a.m., November 24 at 9:53 a.m. and December 23 at 8:28 p.m., US Eastern time. Below: every full moon to December 2027 in Eastern time and UTC, from the US Naval Observatory, and the next three for any time zone.

Same moment, different date
A full moon late in the evening in the Americas is already the next day in UTC, and later still in Asia and Australia. In 2027, June 19 in UTC is June 18 in the US East and November 14 in UTC is November 13 in the US East. In the UK the date is the UTC date in winter; in summer, add an hour.
What about the names?
Almanacs print a name for each month's full moon, and the lists differ from one to another; their origins are disputed, as Wikipedia's article on the full moon sets out. NASA's September 2026 sky guide, for one, calls the September 26 full moon the Harvest Moon. This page sticks to the dates and times.
Where Angel Step fits
Angel Step reads only your step count from Apple Health and shows it as one number on a living sky. It does not track the Moon; that is this page's job. A full moon is a good night for a walk: the path is lit.
