First Supermoon of 2026 🌕
🌕 January 3, 2026 — Wolf Supermoon    •   The first full moon of 2026, known as the Wolf Moon, occurs on January 3, 2026.    •   It is also classified as a supermoon, meaning the Moon will be at or near its closest point to Earth and thus appear larger and brighter than an average full moon.
