"Get ready for the Harvest Supermoon and a planetary parade this Friday night!"
The final supermoon of 2023, known as the harvest moon, will be visible between Thursday night and Friday morning. Supermoons occur when the moon's orbit is closest to Earth at the same time as a full moon, making it appear about 16% brighter and 5% bigger than an average full moon. The harvest moon is named because it is the full moon nearest the autumnal equinox and is associated with crop harvesting. To view and photograph the supermoon, simply go outside and look up, using a telescope or binoculars for a closer look and following NASA's lunar photography guide for tips.
