Stargazers will be able to spot the final supermoon of 2022 fairly easily if the skies remain clear on Wednesday night.
We've already had a worm moon, a wolf moon, a snow moon, and last month's strawberry supermoon this year; with July's full moon both a Buck Moon and a supermoon. Supermoons occur as a result of the full moon occurring when it's near to its closest point to the Earth in its orbit, with tomorrow's the last time this will happen for more than a year.
Anna Ross, a planetarium astronomer at Royal Museums Greenwich in south-east London, said: "As a supermoon means that the moon is a little closer to us, it will appear slightly bigger in the sky. The apparent difference between the size of the full moon at its closest and farthest points is only around 14% and, although if you were on the moon its brightness wouldn’t change, being that bit closer, it also overall appears to be around 30% brighter to us here on Earth.
