Full Moon October 2027: Highlights and Observation
What makes this Full Moon special
On October 15, 2027 the Moon is about 390,000 km from Earth, slightly above the mean distance of 384,400 km, so it is neither a supermoon nor a micromoon. Across the year it ranks 7th closest of 12 Full Moons in 2027; the Full Moon of September (399,000 km) was about 9,000 km farther away, the one of November (379,000 km) will be about 11,000 km closer.
Observing from London
In London the Moon rises on October 15 at 17:28 BST and sets the following morning at 08:37; the Sun sets at 18:09 and rises the next morning at 07:25. The Full Moon is therefore above the horizon all night long. Other locations in the UK differ by a few minutes.
