The Next Full Moon is the Flower, Corn Planting, or Milk Moon, Vesak or Buddha Purnima, a Lunar Eclipse, and a Supermoon.
The next full Moon will be on Wednesday morning, May 26, 2021, appearing opposite the Sun in Earth-based longitude at 7:14 a.m. EDT. The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Monday night through Thursday morning.
While this time will be on Wednesday for most of the Earth, for Baker Island and the Pacific Ocean in the timezone just west of the International Date Line this will be before midnight on Tuesday morning. On the other side of the International Date Line, for the Pacific Ocean and islands that fall under Phoenix Island Time, West Samoa Time, and Line Islands Time, this will be after midnight on Thursday morning.
