There will be a fourth and final super moon on August 11. There are times when the sun goes down and the moon goes up. There is a time on Friday at 01:36GMT.
Chris Vaughan of Astrogeo.ca says to look to the southeast to see the super moon shining about a slim palm's width to the lower right.
Unfortunately, this dazzling lunar show won't be appreciated by everyone, as it coincides with the most anticipated meteor shower of the year. According to a statement from NASA, the full moon will reduce the visibility of meteors to less than 10 per hour, which is less than the average for North America.
There are planets in August's night sky that can be seen.
There is a full moon when the moon and sun are not in alignment. The lack of shadows can make it difficult to see features on the lunar surface.
When the full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth, it's called a supermoon. According to the Farmer's Almanac and Fred Espanak, a super moon is a full moon within 90 percent of its closest approach to Earth. The one we have seen this year is not unusual. There will be four consecutive full super moons in 2023, as well as in 2024. Three in a row is the norm.
