Watch Live: Last Supermoon of the Year
Watch Live: Last Supermoon of the Year
Sep 20, 2024 11:38 PM

Get ready for the last supermoon of the year! Skywatchers can see the full moon, also called the Harvest Moon, this month, beginning Monday evening.

While clearer skies will settle in from Oklahoma and Texas into the Mississippi Valley through New England, rain over the Southeast and Southwest will make for poor viewing conditions in person. That's why weather.com is bringing you a live feed from Slooh.com, above, which is presented by the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, off the coast of Africa.

As weather.com science editor Michele Berger explains, September's full moon also marks theHarvest Moon because it occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. You can read more about what NASA says could be "a great pumpkin-colored moon" here on weather.com.

If you are lucky enough to have clear skies and catch a glimpse, share your photos with The Weather Channel. Post them on ourFacebook page, or send us a tweet @weatherchannel. You can also upload them to weather.com/photos.
