Tomorrow, the 29th, is October’s full moon, the Hunter’s Moon. There will be a lot of celestial shows, a partial lunar eclipse will occur at dawn, and the moon and Jupiter will come very close to each other at night. You can’t take your eyes off the moon before sunrise or after sunset.
There will be a “partial lunar eclipse” at dawn. Get up early and look at the western sky.
There will be a full moon at 5:24 a.m. tomorrow, the 29th. A “partial lunar eclipse” will occur around the same time. You can see the partial eclipse from beginning to end almost all over Japan.
According to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, the moon’s eclipse begins at around 4:34 a.m., the maximum eclipse of the moon is around 5:14 a.m., and the partial eclipse ends around 5:53 a.m. .
The weather at dawn tomorrow will be sunny over a wide area from Okinawa and Kyushu to the Tokai region, and Hokkaido will also be sunny mainly in the north. On the other hand, there are many places in Hokuriku and Tohoku where it rains, so the weather is likely to be disappointing. There is also a possibility of rain and thunderstorms in the Kanto region in the morning.
The moon and Jupiter approach each other rapidly at night, so pay attention to the eastern sky after sunset.
Tomorrow, on the night of the 29th, the Moon and Jupiter will be very close to each other. Pay attention to the eastern sky after sunset.
According to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Jupiter rises after sunset when the sky gets dark, remains visible as the brightest star until after midnight, and will be close to the moon from the 28th to the 29th. It emits a brightness that rivals the brightness of a full moon, so you can see it at a glance.
As for the weather tomorrow night, many places in Tohoku and Hokuriku will continue to be cloudy and rainy, but many places in Hokkaido, Kanto, Kyushu, and Okinawa will be sunny. Following the partial lunar eclipse in the morning, there will also be a chance to observe the Moon and Jupiter approaching each other at night.
October’s full moon “Hunter’s Moon”
October’s full moon is also called the “Hunter’s Moon.”
The full moon has various names in English-speaking countries. The name changes each month, such as April’s “Pink Moon” and June’s “Strawberry Moon.” October’s full moon is called the “Hunter’s Moon” because it is the time when hunting begins. It might be a good idea to look at the moon while remembering these names.
The moon will set in Tokyo on the 29th at around 6:06 a.m., and the moon will rise at around 4:59 p.m.
