If you love observing astronomical phenomena, the beginning of next year holds a very special surprise for you: the first Supermoon of 2026 will shine in the sky over Porto (and beyond) on January 3.
According to information from the “Star Walk”website, the first Supermoon of the year, which coincides with the Wolf’s Full Moon, will be only about 362,000 kilometers from Earth, promising to be a unique moment for photography fans.
All the Supermoons of 2026
According to various astronomical calendars, three Supermoons are scheduled for 2026, the first on January 3, the second on November 24 and the third on December 24, right on the eve of Christmas Day.
One phenomenon, several perspectives
January’s Full Moon, traditionally known as the “Wolf’s Full Moon”, owes its name to the traditions of the indigenous peoples of North America, who listened to the howling of wolves at this time of year.
To observe the lunar satellite in all its splendor, we recommend staying away from light pollution or going to a viewpoint with a strategic view.
