Be sure to check this out.

If you only see one astronomical event this year, make it the November supermoon, when the Moon will be the closest to Earth it’s been since January 1948.
During the event, which will happen on the eve of November 14, the Moon will appear up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than an average full moon. This is the closest the Moon will get to Earth until 25 November 2034, so you really don’t want to miss this one.

I think I'll just wait for the '34 event

Thanks jnos, I just made a note on my calander. I like to look at things like that. This time of year, I see the moon right out my back window. I also see the sunrise but I cannot see sunsets due to the homes.

I also have it marked on my calendar. Wonder WHEN it will rise in my area.

I'd hate to stay up all night waiting for it.

Sounds like a Trump moon - up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than an average full moon, lol.

Thanks for the tip, I will check it out!

Now that sounds like the perfect place to be for it.

That'll be awesome Debbie, enjoy! I'll try and view it that night, hope it's not too cloudy to see.

Full moon in Taurus while the Sun is in Scorpio. It's a most magical time. This will be a hunter's moon to remember.

Check the time the Super Moon will rise in your area. You can change country to yours.

Since Daylight Savings Time Ended the moon rises here in Montana around 4:15 pm. Hopefully you can stay up that late.

Ok, so what is that little thing next to the moon? I don't remember seeing that before. It's in all the photos, even with a different camera.




(It should be on top, the photos were flipped.)

And the evening sky over Sydney is overcast. Bummer.

Just let my dog Addy outside and saw the moon. Very clear sky this morning, very nice moon.
