According to the Farmer's Almanac, the "Harvest" supermoon will reach its peak just before 6 a.m. tomorrow on the east coast.

A supermoon happens when the moon's orbit is closest to Earth at the same time the moon is full, according to NASA. This Harvest Moon is typically about 14-percent bigger and 30-percent brighter than an average moon.

According to the website, Space, this final Super Moon of the year will also kick off stargazing season! Get the kids and get ready to camp out on the warmer nights.....or just lay out in the back yard when it gets dark. Once the moon is exactly 180 degrees opposite of the sun it's officially a full moon.

There have been 4 supermoons in a row since July. Although you may not be able to tell with the naked eye supermoons are full moons that happen when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit...and don't wait too long to see it. You'll miss it in the blink of an eye as the moon and earth are continuously rotating.
