The moon, which <u>NASA says<\/u> will rise at 4:29 p.m. ET Friday, is the fourth supermoon in a row since August 2024. The supermoon&#8217;s rise and set time will shift some based on the viewer&#8217;s location, according to Christopher Palma, teaching professor and advisor of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Penn State University.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-backstage-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap backstage\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<p><!-- END ID=\"RESNX-S1-5188477-100\" CLASS=\"BUCKETWRAP INTERNALLINK INSETTWOCOLUMN INSET2COL \" --><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For Central PA, where I am, the moon rises at 4:29 p.m. on Nov. 15, and it sets the next morning at 8:04 a.m., so it&#8217;s visible for about 15 \u00bd hours. For the DC area, the times only change by a few minutes,&#8221; Palma says.<\/p>\n<p>The moon is considered &#8220;super&#8221; when it is full and its orbit is at the closest point to Earth, <u>according to NASA<\/u> \u2014 though the term &#8220;supermoon&#8221; is not official. It&#8217;s occurrence can cause tides to be higher than normal, the agency says. The celestial phenomenon happens three to four times a year \u2014 in a cluster, or back-to-back full moons. <\/p>\n<p>November&#8217;s supermoon will appear full for nearly three days starting Thursday morning through sunrise Sunday morning, <u>NASA says<\/u>. No special equipment is needed to see it but the best views will depend on the weather.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am definitely in favor of having everyone observe the moon, and when it does appear at its largest when it is full, that is the easiest time to observe it,&#8221; Palma says, adding that people should use a <u>moon map<\/u> to identify features on the lunar surface. &#8220;One place to start is to look for the crater Tycho.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <u>crater<\/u> is thought to be one of the youngest and most prominent craters on the moon and can be seen as a bright spot on its surface in the lower hemisphere, NASA says.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-secondary-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap secondary\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>If you miss this supermoon, you won&#8217;t be able to see the next one until Oct. 2025, Palma says. At that time, there will be three supermoons in a row.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/11\/14\/nx-s1-5188477\/november-supermoon-2024-friday?rand=771664\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A commercial airliner flies before the rising Beaver full moon above Kuwait City on Nov. 27, 2023.
