A supermoon is a full moon within about 360,000 km of the Earth: roughly 7% wider and 15% brighter than average. A micromoon is a full moon near apogee, the far end of the orbit.

The moon’s orbit is an ellipse, so its distance swings by about 50,000 km every month. That is what makes one full moon look bigger than another.

Only eclipses that are actually above the horizon at Lynn Haven are listed — the same eclipse can be spectacular in one country and invisible in the next. Penumbral lunar eclipses darken the moon so slightly that most people looking up would not notice.

Worth looking at tonight?

A thin crescent

Only a sliver is lit, low in the twilight and gone within an hour or two of the sun. Look for earthshine: the whole disc faintly visible, lit by sunlight bounced off the Earth.

How these times are calculated

Every figure on this page is computed for Lynn Haven’s own coordinates (30.2337, -85.6370) from the standard VSOP87 and ELP planetary and lunar theories, then converted to local time with the current daylight-saving offset. Rise and set times include atmospheric refraction and are given for the moment the upper limb crosses a flat horizon at sea level — hills or buildings will shift them by a few minutes. Nothing here is fetched from a third party, so the numbers do not change between reloads.

The next full moon falls on Sunday, 25 October 2026 local time. It is traditionally called the Hunter’s Moon. The next new moon falls on Saturday, 10 October 2026 local time — the darkest night of the month, and the best one for stargazing.
