Reading the 2016 full moon calendar
Each row is the instant the Moon is exactly opposite the Sun. The Moon looks full to the eye for about a day on either side, so plan viewing for the evening before or after as well. Click a full moon for that month's details, or a name to learn where it comes from.
Distance decides how large the Moon appears. Below about 360,000 km it is commonly called a supermoon; above about 405,000 km a micromoon. The difference is real but subtle: roughly the difference between a coin at arm's length and the same coin held a few centimetres closer.
