The October full moon is particularly bright and large because it is at the closest point to Earth in its orbit. © IMAGO/Wolfgang Maria Weber3 / 5The supermoon reaches its peak on the evening of October 17th. Here the 99 percent visible and waxing moon shines in the evening sky over Brandenburg. © Patrick Pleul/Imago4 / 5Onlookers around the world can observe the supermoon, like here under a statue in Dallas. A “supermoon” appears about 7 percent larger and 15 percent brighter than an average full moon. © Julio Cortez/dpa5 / 5The October full moon rises in the east on Thursday (October 17).
