This usually happens only three or four times a year and consecutively, given the moon\u2019s constantly shifting, oval-shaped orbit.<\/p>\n<p>A supermoon obviously isn\u2019t bigger, but it can appear that way, although scientists say the difference can be barely perceptible.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_501363\" style=\"width: 964px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-501363\" src=\"https:\/\/d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net\/static\/2024\/11\/2024-10-18T000000Z_1367714367_RC2PMAA3OOMJ_RTRMADP_3_SUPERMOON-MEXICO.jpg\" alt=\"The full moon, known as the Hunter's moon, rises over Mexico City\" width=\"954\" height=\"697\" class=\"size-full wp-image-501363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net\/static\/2024\/11\/2024-10-18T000000Z_1367714367_RC2PMAA3OOMJ_RTRMADP_3_SUPERMOON-MEXICO.jpg 954w, https:\/\/d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net\/static\/2024\/11\/2024-10-18T000000Z_1367714367_RC2PMAA3OOMJ_RTRMADP_3_SUPERMOON-MEXICO-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net\/static\/2024\/11\/2024-10-18T000000Z_1367714367_RC2PMAA3OOMJ_RTRMADP_3_SUPERMOON-MEXICO-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net\/static\/2024\/11\/2024-10-18T000000Z_1367714367_RC2PMAA3OOMJ_RTRMADP_3_SUPERMOON-MEXICO-425x311.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-501363\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of the craters on the surface of the Supermoon, known as the Hunter\u2019s moon, as it rises over Mexico City on Oct. 17, 2024.

September\u2019s was 222,131 miles (357,486 kilometers) away. A partial lunar eclipse also unfolded that night, visible in much of the Americas, Africa and Europe as Earth\u2019s shadow fell on the moon, resembling a small bite.<\/p>\n<p>October\u2019s supermoon was the year\u2019s closest at 222,055 miles (357,364 kilometers) from Earth. This month\u2019s supermoon will make its closest approach on Thursday with the full lunar phase the next day.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s in it for me?<\/h2>\n<p>Scientists point out that only the keenest observers can discern the subtle differences. It\u2019s easier to detect the change in brightness \u2014 a supermoon can be 30 percent brighter than average.<\/p>\n<p>With the U.S. and other countries ramping up lunar exploration with landers and eventually astronauts, the moon beckons brighter than ever.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/science\/the-last-supermoon-of-the-year-is-coming-heres-when-to-see-it\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
