Rising supermoon

  • A supermoon is a full moon that occurs when the Moon is at or near its closest point to Earth in its orbit called perigee.
    o
  • This makes the Moon appear larger and brighter than usual in the night sky.
    o
  • We will have three supermoons in a row ~ October brings us the first year’s supermoon then we will see one again in both November and December this year.
    o
  • Good opportunity for photography!
    If you’re capturing the rising supermoon for between 6:15pm & 6.30pm to catch the Moon just as it clears the horizon ~ including foreground elements like trees or buildings can enhance the scale and drama.
