Moon in Vienna — Did You Know?
- ·Vienna's imperial calendar was managed for centuries by the Habsburgs' court astronomers at the Kremsminster Observatory, who maintained the lunisolar Catholic liturgical calendar for the entire Holy Roman Empire; the Vienna State Opera's season calendar still uses the Easter lunar calculation to avoid conflicts, a direct institutional continuity of 700 years of Viennese lunar timekeeping.
- ·Vienna sits in the Vienna Basin at 170 m where the Danube broadens, flanked to the west and northwest by the Wienerwald (Vienna Woods); on autumn full-moon nights the moon rises over the flat Pannonian plain to the east and reflects in the Alte Donau (Old Danube) oxbow lake within the city, while the illuminated Stephansdom spire rises in the foreground — a uniquely Viennese contrast of water, Gothic stone, and moonlight.
- ·At latitude 48.2° N, Vienna sees the winter full moon arc through the southern sky, reaching a maximum altitude of approximately 65°; this means the full moon clears the rooflines of the Ringstrasse palaces but stays well below the zenith on midwinter nights, casting the long diagonal shadows across the cobblestones of the Innere Stadt that characterize winter in the imperial city.

Tonight the moon in Vienna is in the Full Moon phase. It is 97% illuminated and 16.3 days into the current lunar cycle. Moon phases are the same worldwide — only the exact local clock time of moonrise and moonset differs by location.
The next full moon occurs on 30 de mayo de 2026, which is 29 days from today. During a full moon the Moon is 100% illuminated as seen from Earth.
The next new moon occurs on 15 de mayo de 2026, in 14 days. The new moon marks the start of a fresh 29.5-day lunar cycle and is not visible in the night sky.
A lunar (synodic) cycle lasts approximately 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes — or 29.53 days. It runs from one new moon to the next, passing through 8 distinct phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
No — the moon phase (the fraction of the Moon illuminated) is the same everywhere on Earth at any given moment. However, moonrise and moonset times, as well as the moon's altitude in the sky, vary by location. The moon also appears upside-down in the Southern Hemisphere compared to the Northern Hemisphere.
The moon rises at approximately 21:34 local time in Vienna tonight. Moonrise shifts about 50 minutes later each night as the Moon moves eastward along its orbit, completing a full cycle roughly every 29.5 days.
The next full moon on 30 de mayo de 2026 is known as the Flower Moon. These traditional names — originating with Native American tribes and later adopted in the Farmer's Almanac — each reflect a seasonal event or natural phenomenon of that month visible from the Northern Hemisphere.
No — the Moon is currently at approximately 404,260 km, a typical orbital distance. A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the Moon being within roughly 360,000 km of Earth (near perigee). The Moon's distance varies between ~356,500 km (perigee) and ~406,700 km (apogee) over each ~27.3-day anomalistic month.
From Vienna at 48.2°N latitude, the full moon's maximum altitude above the horizon varies by season. In the local hemisphere's winter — when the full moon is opposite a low winter sun — it can reach roughly 65° above the horizon. In summer it arcs lower, around 18°. This seasonal variation is the same reason the sun is high in summer and low in winter.
The Moon's phase is identical everywhere on Earth simultaneously. However, its orientation in the sky differs by hemisphere: in the Northern Hemisphere the waxing crescent curves to the left; in the Southern Hemisphere it curves to the right. From Vienna at 48.2°N, the Moon arcs through the southern sky. Moonrise and moonset times also differ by longitude — a city 15° to the east sees the Moon rise roughly 1 hour earlier.
