Recent and upcoming full moons: The lunar calendar includes several full moons each year, with notable events like blue moons and strawberry moons depending on the month. If you’re in Prague, you’ll typically see the full Moon rise in the evening sky on the dates listed for Central European Time. For precise dates and visible timing in your location, checking a local astronomy site or a moon phase calendar for Prague is best.[1][3]

Notable celestial events around full moons in 2025–2026: 2025 featured a total lunar eclipse (often called a Blood Moon) in March, which is a dramatic full-moon event that doesn’t happen every cycle. While not every full moon is a eclipse, the event is widely covered in global science and astronomy pages and can be a good anchor point for sky-watch plans.[4][1]

How to watch and what to expect: For a typical full moon viewing, find a dark location with a clear horizon, check the Moon’s rise and set times, and bring warm clothing if you’re outside after sunset. If there’s a lunar eclipse, the Moon will darken and take on a copper-red color during totality for about an hour. Guidance and viewing guides are frequently updated around eclipse dates.[1][4]

Additional context from media outlets: Major outlets regularly publish viewing guides around significant lunar events (e.g., full moons with special names or eclipse opportunities), plus public-interest pieces about the Moon’s phases and cultural references. If you want, I can pull the latest articles from major outlets and summarize what’s new this week.[5][4]
