Supermoon 2016!




November might be known as a dreary month when we set back the clocks, but it will also feature a special full moon, and it’s coming up soon

The full moon on November 14 will look like an extra-bright spotlight in the sky— that’s because it will be a notable . “supermoon” that won’t be this close to Earth again for another 18 years. In fact, the last time it looked this big was 1948, according to Space.com.

But the supermoon on November 14 will be very rare.

If you’re planning on viewing the November 14 supermoon, be sure to get somewhere nice and dark, away from the lights of the city, if you can.

This moon will reach the crest of its full phase at 8:52 a.m. Eastern time, and perigree will occur within about an hour to an hour and a half of that time, according to EarthSky.org. But it should look exceptionally big and bright throughout the night.

Want the exact time of full moon for North American time zones? Okay, so the moon will reach the crest of its full phase on November 14 at 1352 UTC. That translates to 9:52 a.m. AST, 8:52 a.m. EST, 7:52 a.m. CST, 6:52 a.m. MST, 5:52 a.m. PST.
