Don’t Miss the Harvest Supermoon Show! 🪐

On the nights of October 6, the sky will put on one of the most magical displays of the year — a Super Harvest Moon rising side by side with Saturn!

As the giant golden moon climbs above the eastern horizon at sunset, you’ll spot Saturn glowing just above it, about 15° to the upper right — easy to see even without a telescope. This full moon is extra special: it’s the first of four powerful supermoons in a row, appearing bigger, brighter, and closer than usual.

When to watch: Step outside just after sunset on Oct 6 and look toward the eastern sky. Stay out a little longer to watch this brilliant duo journey across the heavens all night long.
