Harvest Moon and Supermoon Combine Tonight
Tonight’s sky brings an extraordinary celestial event. The full moon not only marks the famous Harvest Moon, but it’s also the first supermoon of 2025. Stargazers and moon lovers should look up and enjoy this rare combination, where the moon appears larger and brighter than usual.
Why Is This Moon So Special?
What makes this event unique is the timing. A supermoon happens when the full moon is closest to Earth in its orbit. This makes it look especially large and luminous. The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox, traditionally aiding farmers by giving them extra light to gather crops.
Tonight’s moonrise will offer stunning views. If the weather is clear, be sure to step outside and witness this spectacular natural show.
