Last supermoon of 2023, Jupiter and Saturn to be visible over Singapore on Sep 29

The Science Centre Observatory said that the Harvest Moon will begin rising at 7pm, approximately from the east. It should be at an “appreciable height” from 9pm.

“Like most full moons, it will be easily visible anywhere in Singapore as long as the skies are clear, and viewers have an unobstructed view of it,” the observatory said.

“Open public areas like the Marina Barrage, East Coast Park and the Southern Ridges offer an unobstructed and potentially elevated view of the Harvest Moon with panoramic views of the city skyline.”

As an added treat, stargazers may also be able to spot Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury while observing the Harvest Moon, according to Space.com.

While 2023 saw four consecutive supermoons, it will be almost a year before another one lights up the planet’s skies.

The next supermoon after Friday’s, also a Harvest Moon, will not be seen until Sep 18, 2024, data from Time and Date showed.
