What this time means
The listed instant is the exact phase alignment, not an all-day event. The Moon may look nearly full moon before and after it. Local civil dates can differ near midnight, which is why precise times use UTC.
Planning to observe
A Full Moon rises near sunset and remains bright through much of the night. Its low-relief lighting is less favorable for crater detail but excellent for seeing the lunar maria with unaided eyes.
