The Moon blocks more of the Sun over Poughkeepsie than almost anywhere else in the region during Wednesday's partial eclipse, peaking just before 2 p.m.
Outdoor enthusiasts have already experienced some incredible full moons in 2026. Personally, I loved the Pink Moon because it created such a magical and unforgettable scene. Soon, we can see the Blue Moon!
We can look forward to seeing Blue Moon, Strawberry Moon, Buck Moon and more this year. However, the next one I’m already excited about and wanted to share with you.
Look up Feb. 18–19, 2026! The Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn will line up in the western sky after sunset. No telescope needed—just a clear view and a warm coat.
Tonight’s Strawberry Moon is more than just a pretty sight — it’s the largest and lowest full moon we’ll see until 2043. Named by Native Americans for the strawberry harvest season, this June full moon marks early summer and invites us all to pause and appreciate the night sky.
