Saturday Nights’ Full moon will be a “Perigee Moon” the closest full moon since March 1993.
Moon Rise will be at approximately 19:53 EDT. At a distance of 222,375 miles.
In the southern Ontario area the moon will rise at 97.8 degrees (East)
The next “Perigee Moon” will not occur till 2029.
Full moons look different because of the elliptical shape of the moon’s orbit.
When it’s at perigee, the moon is about 31,000 miles (50,000 km) closer to Earth than when it’s at the farthest point of its orbit, also known as apogee.
Definitely worth a look.
The Clear Sky Clock for Hamilton area show the possibility of 20% cloud cover from 18:00 – 21:00
