MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) While clear skies are bringing cold overnight temps, it is also allowing for bright moonlight! That moonlight won't get any brighter than what we'll see Wednesday Night into early Thursday Morning.
The May Super Flower Moon is to peak at 5:45 Thursday Morning, which will afford night owls and early risers alike the opportunity to get a tremendous view of the supermoon. So, what exactly is a supermoon? When a full moon coincides with it being closest to Earth in its orbit, it becomes a supermoon. Because of its close proximity, the moon will appear to be particularly large and bright.
According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, May's full moon was given the name Flower Moon by Native American tribes due to the fact that most flowers bloom over the course of the month. It's also known as the Planting Moon in reference to the crop planting taking place, as well as the Milk Moon.
May will mark the fourth consecutive month with a supermoon, but this supermoon will be the last of 2020. It's to be the third largest full moon of the year.
If you snap a picture of the moon, be sure to upload it to us using the NBC15 First Alert Weather App. It is available now on all mobile devices in the Google Play Store for Android users or the App Store for iOS users.
