Supermoon will be in the sky on October 26

October 26 will also be the third time in a row that this type of sky show can be enjoyed on a Tuesday night.

Earlier last month, skywatchers were excited about supermoon that by chance happened with a lunar eclipse.

While the phenomenon taking place on October 26, starting from 12:05 UTC into the morning of October 27, may not be as elusive, it still remains special, since it will take nearly a year until sky gazers can admire it again. While supermoons aren't rare, it is unusual to have three in a row, with one of them-the one in September-coinciding with a full lunar eclipse. Perigee means "near Earth". According to the website, Astronomy Calendar of Celestial Events 2015, there will be a conjunction between the planets Jupiter and Venuson October 26, and the full moon will occur on October 27. The moon looks larger and slightly brighter during the super moon.

The final supermoon of 2015 rises Monday.

There are usually between four and six supermoons a year but not all of them coincide with full moons.

On that night, the moon appeared around 30% brighter and 14% larger than usual, give the fact that it was approximately 17,000 miles closer to Earth than its average distance, which is of about 238,800 miles.

That is all the more reason to check out this month's supermoon, on October 26th.

According to CDA News, because the October full moon is a time when Autumn leaves fall and game animals are fattest, Native American tribes have called it the "Full Hunters Moon", since it is the best time to hunt the animals. A few occur at a new moon, so although they are big, they are also much dimmer, less spectacular and more hard to see.

During the supermoon of September 28, the moon reached its closest approach to the earth all year. Prior to Nolle's definition and naming, such occurrences were called as perigee full moons or perigee new moons by scientists.
