Supermoon 2024 Visibility Hidden. A supermoon occurs when the moon’s orbit is closest to earth at the same time the moon is full. On 17 october, the moon will rise in the east around sunset (around 6pm across the uk and us, local time) and will be visible throughout the night.
The hunter’s moon is the first full moon after the autumnal equinox, which occurred on september. Photographer dan martland captured a timelapse of the rising supermoon above midtown manhattan and saturn is visible ascending parallel to earth’s natural satellite.
