Start the year with the Wolf Moon — the first full moon of 2026 appearing bright and large in the night sky.
On January 10, Jupiter will shine at its brightest and easiest to spot all night — a must-see for stargazers.
On February 17, a “Ring of Fire” solar eclipse occurs. While visible as an annular eclipse from Antarctica, parts of Africa and South America will see a partial eclipse.
The March 3 total lunar eclipse will turn the full moon a reddish “blood moon” in parts of North America, East Asia, Australia & NZ.
On May 31, enjoy the Blue Moon — the second full moon in a single calendar month, a rare sight.
August brings a total solar eclipse, visible across parts of Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain.
On August 28, the Moon will be deeply shadowed — over 96 % immersed — offering a dramatic partial lunar eclipse.
Later in the year, Mars and Jupiter will appear very close, perfect for early evening binocular viewing.
2026 is packed with celestial wonder — plan your starry nights and don’t miss these sky highlights!
