In November 2026: last quarter on November 1, new moon on November 9, first quarter on November 17, and full moon on November 24. The dates and times follow Universal Time until your browser converts them to your own time zone, so a phase that falls near midnight can land on the day before or after where you live.
The full moon of November is traditionally called the Beaver Moon. That night the Moon is 360,754 km from Earth, close enough to be called a supermoon.
For stars, meteors and the Milky Way, the darkest nights run from November 6 to November 12, around the new moon, when the Moon stays out of the evening sky.
