  • Spain’s National Geographic Institute sets the peak at 11:03 CET on January 3, with public viewing best after moonrise under clear skies.
  • Time and Date lists Argentina’s viewing window roughly from 20:55 Saturday to 06:46 Sunday, with the supermoon visible to the naked eye if weather cooperates.
  • Jupiter will sit near the Moon that night, offering an easy naked‑eye pairing noted by EarthSky.
  • Astronomers expect 13 full moons in 2026, including a Blue Moon on May 31, three supermoons in January, November and December, and a total lunar eclipse on March 3 visible across Asia, Australia, Pacific islands and the Americas.
