When is the next full moon?
The next phases strip shows the date and time of the next full moon, and the table below lists every full moon of the year.
Why does the full moon time differ between sources?
The instant of full moon is the same everywhere; sources differ only in the time zone they print. This page shows UTC in the tables and local time in the strip.
Does the full moon affect sleep?
Several studies found that people fall asleep later and sleep less in the days around the full moon; others found no effect. Where it appears, the difference is small.
