First supermoon of the year: Best time to see it above New Zealand

  • January 3, 2026

“As with all astronomical objects it’s usually better to be in the middle of nowhere to limit light pollution, but the moon is pretty bright so you’ll be able to see it from cities.”

Ridden said the moon is “hanging out near Jupiter” at the moment, so when you are looking at the supermoon, the bright star just to the south will be Jupiter.

The other two supermoons this year will happen in November and December.
