The Harvest Moon graced the sky Monday, and the view was spectacular.
October’s supermoon, which appeared within the night sky final night time, is the primary of three this yr.
A supermoon occurs when a full moon is nearer to Earth in its orbit. That makes the moon look as much as 14% greater and 30% brighter than the faintest moon of the yr, in line with NASA.
In Monday’s viewing, the moon handed inside about 224,600 miles of Earth.
The closest supermoon of the yr is slated for November, adopted by one other in December.
The spectacles in skies proceed in 2026 with two lunar eclipses: a complete eclipse throughout a lot of North America, Asia and Australia in March, and a partial one in August throughout the Americas, Africa and Europe.
