• •Four consecutive supermoons are coming up: October (Hunter’s moon), November (Beaver moon), December (Cold moon), and January (Wolf moon).
• •Supermoons appear bigger and brighter because they occur when the full moon is closest to Earth.
• •The first supermoon will be on October 7th.
• •In October, the moon will be near the Pleiades star cluster and Jupiter.
• •October 30th is a good time to view the moon through a telescope and see lunar X and V shapes.

Skywatchers are in for a treat as four supermoons are set to grace the night sky in the coming months, starting with the Hunter's moon in October. These supermoons appear bigger and brighter because they occur when the full moon is at its closest point to Earth. The best time to observe these celestial events is when the moon is rising or setting, enhancing the illusion of size. October's moon will be near the Pleiades star cluster, offering a chance to spot the Seven Sisters, and by mid-October, the moon will be near Jupiter, which might be viewable with binoculars.
