Mark your calendars, skywatchers! The year's most dazzling celestial event—a jaw-dropping supermoon—will grace the skies tonight. 🌕✨ On October 17th, the moon hit its closest point to Earth (perigee) at 8:51 a.m. Beijing time, and just under 11 hours later, it'll shine in full glory at 7:26 p.m. Talk about perfect timing!
Why is this a big deal? This rare alignment makes the moon appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual. Imagine your favorite pizza slice… but moon-sized and glowing! 🍕🌙 Astronomers say it's the closest full moon of 2023, so grab your cameras or just vibe under its glow.
Pro tip: Snap pics near landmarks or during moonrise for Insta-worthy shots. Whether you're a #SpaceTok enthusiast or just love a good sky show, this is your moment. Tag us @NewspaperAmigo if you capture the magic!
