Moonwatchers will have a special year in 2020, with 13 full moons to brighten the night sky, including three supermoons, four lunar eclipses and even a blue moon.
The moon's closeness to Earth, naturally, makes it look extra-close and extra-bright – up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than a full moon at its farthest point from Earth. Not as spectacular – or noticeable – as a total lunar eclipse, a penumbral lunar eclipse is a rather subtle phenomenon that occurs when the full moon moves through the outer part of Earth’s shadow , according to EarthSky.org.
The month will have two full moons, including one on Halloween night. The next time we’ll see an equally spooky moon is 2039. Plan your werewolf costumes accordingly.
