SINGAPORE: The final supermoon of the year illuminated the night sky over Singapore on Thursday (Aug 11).
The supermoon, also known as the Sturgeon Moon, will occur between the night of Thursday and Friday, said the Science Centre Observatory in a Facebook post.
“Like other supermoons, it will appear brighter than the usual full moon and a tad bit larger to our eyes,” it added.
The moon rose at about 6.45pm on Thursday evening from the east and south-east.
“It should rise to a height easy for most to see at around 9pm and will set towards the west-south-west direction. It is also interesting to note that the moon will be relatively close to Saturn,” said the observatory.
