October's Hunter's Moon will be the largest and brightest supermoon of 2024, occurring when it reaches its closest point to Earth, allowing us to witness a stunning celestial event.
Supermoons occur when the full Moon aligns with its closest approach to Earth, resulting in a slightly larger and brighter appearance. This October's event is particularly remarkable.
Although the difference between a supermoon and a regular full Moon is subtle, this October's supermoon is expected to be slightly brighter than last month's Harvest supermoon.
Despite the minor visual differences, October's supermoon coinciding with the fading Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS offers a unique opportunity for sky-watchers to observe two celestial phenomena.
