Why the full moon that’s set to rise is the supermoon to watch

The upcoming full moon, also known as the hunter’s moon, is a supermoon. This event marks the third of four consecutive supermoons, which occur when the moon is at or near its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit. The combination of the full moon and its proximity to Earth will make it appear larger and brighter than usual, making it a notable celestial event.
