The first of three supermoons will make its appearance in the Copper Valley this Monday, October 6th, 2025. The "supermoon" means that the moon is closer to the earth than it normally is. It varies from being 406,000 kilometers away to being as close as 356,000 kilometers away. (If you want to be an astronomer, you have to learn to think in kilometers not miles.)
Because a supermoon (that's one word by the way) is closer, it looks like it's bigger and brighter.
This moon is often called the "Harvest Moon". The November moon is sometimes called the "Beaver Moon" and the December moon goes by many names, including "Cold Moon" – a sign that winter is on its way.
