Full Moon June 2027: Highlights and Observation
What makes this Full Moon special
This Full Moon is a micromoon: on June 19, 2027 the Moon is about 402,000 km away, close to the farthest point of its orbit (apogee of this orbit about 406,000 km). That makes it the 10th closest, i.e. one of the most distant Full Moons of 2027; the Full Moon of May (394,000 km) was about 8,000 km closer. A Full Moon at apogee appears about 11 percent smaller than a supermoon.
Observing from London
In London the Moon rises on June 19 at 22:19 BST and sets the following morning at 05:37; the Sun sets at 21:21 and rises the next morning at 04:43. The Full Moon is therefore above the horizon all night long. Other locations in the UK differ by a few minutes.

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.
