Moon phases 2026 at a glance

2026 has 13 full moons and 12 new moons. The first full moon is on 3 January 2026, the last on 23 December 2026. May has two full moons in the same calendar month. The table lists every phase with its time in US Eastern Time (daylight saving time included).

How it is calculated

The dates come from the formulas of Jean Meeus (“Astronomical Algorithms”) with all periodic corrections, converted from Terrestrial Time to Universal Time (ΔT after Espenak/Meeus). Checked against the U.S. Naval Observatory: at most two minutes difference.

Limits

Times are for US Eastern Time; in other time zones a phase can fall on the previous or next day. The calendar contains astronomical data only, no astrological advice.
