Monday 3 July 2023 - 16:40

The first of four supermoons in 2023 is set to rise on July 3rd, offering a brighter and more luminous display than any other full moon this year.

A supermoon occurs when the moon is closer to the Earth in its orbit, making it appear slightly larger in the sky. Although the size difference may not be noticeable without careful observation, the July supermoon will be more radiant and approximately 361,934 kilometers away from the Earth.

Observers can look to the southeast after sunset to view this celestial event, weather permitting.
