Supermoon Alert: The year's largest full moon is almost here, what you need to know.
Get ready for a celestial spectacle as the largest and brightest full moon of the year is set to grace our skies. Astronomer Dennis Mammana is urging skywatchers to prepare for this incredible event. This Supermoon promises to be a stunning sight, captivating audiences worldwide. Here's how you can best witness it.
This year's Supermoon, often called the "Hunter's Moon" in November, appears closer and larger than any other full moon. It's expected to be approximately 7% larger than a typical full moon, according to astronomical data. This makes it a must-see event for astronomy enthusiasts.
Mammana highlights that this phenomenon occurs when a full moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth. The visual difference, though subtle to some, is significant for keen observers. Wow, the moon is putting on a show!
This extraordinary lunar event also aligns with increased meteor activity in early November. The American Meteor Society forecasts notable meteor showers around the same time. This offers a double treat for stargazers.
