Full Moon June 2026: Highlights and Observation
What makes this Full Moon special
This Full Moon is a micromoon: on June 30, 2026 the Moon is about 405,000 km away, close to the farthest point of its orbit (apogee of this orbit about 406,000 km). That makes it the 12th closest, i.e. one of the most distant Full Moons of 2026; the Full Moon of May (406,000 km) was about 1,000 km farther away. A Full Moon at apogee appears about 12 percent smaller than a supermoon.
Observing from London
In London the Moon rises on June 30 at 22:12 BST and sets the following morning at 05:44; the Sun sets at 21:21 and rises the next morning at 04:47. The Full Moon is therefore above the horizon all night long. Other locations in the UK differ by a few minutes.

Shortly after moonrise, the full moon is close to the horizon — ideal for photos with a foreground. City skylines, trees, or bodies of water yield impressive compositions. The live view shows the exact moonrise for your location.
Photography Tip
Short exposure (1/250s–1/500s), low ISO (100–400), telephoto range. Smartphone: tap the moon manually, slide exposure control down. Use a tripod for sharpness at long focal lengths.
