February’s full moon will brighten the skies as the biggest supermoon of the year.
The supermoon occurs during this full moon because it will be closest in its orbit to Earth. Technically, the supermoon will reach its peak on Tuesday morning at 10:54 a.m. ET, but it won’t be visible then. Instead, keep an eye out Monday and Tuesday night.
Moonrise will be the best time for those interested in capturing dramatic supermoon photos because the moon will be closest to the horizon. Check your local time for moonrise here.

EXETER, Pa. -- Part of Route 92 over Hicks Creek in Exeter remains closed to traffic.
Over the weekend, a water main break caused the roadway to open up, according to PennDOT.
Repairs were made and the hole was filled in, but workers discovered more problems: mainly a large pipe that runs under the road is damaged, too.
"I took Tunkhannock Avenue across Stevens Lane to work. Took me 15 minutes out of the way to get to work," said Eric Dixon of Swoyersville.
The detour around the closure is three to four miles long.
