You can watch the super moon above Rome in the early hours of Friday, August 12th.

The Virtual Telescope Project will begin its live stream on Friday. The sun rises at 0530GMT. The last super moon of the year can be seen at either the project's website or Space.com.

"Seeing the full moon, especially when'super,' rising/setting above Rome is a unique emotion," said project founder Gianluca Masi.

There are planets in August's night sky that can be seen.

The full moon of August is called the Surgeon Moon. There are times when the sun goes down and the moon goes up. There is a time on Friday at 1362GMT. According to Fred Espanak, an eclipse expert and retired NASA astrophysicist, it will be a "supermoon" when the moon is close to Earth.

There have been three super moons this year.

The one we have seen this year is not unusual. There will be four consecutive full supermoons in 2023, as well as in 2024. Three in a row is the norm.

Our guides can help you find the best deals on telescopes and binoculars to view the last super moon of the year. During a full moon, the moon and sun are opposite each other and sunlight strikes the moon face on. Due to the lack of shadows, it can be difficult to make out features on the moon.
