See the Year's Largest Supermoon Tonight from Fuerteventura

The island’s skies will be clear early in the evening, then shift to a mix of clouds and clear patches during the early morning.

The largest Supermoon of the year will be visible tonight—a rare phenomenon that will crown this astronomical cycle in spectacular fashion. Residents have the chance to witness this striking lunar display, especially between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., after which variable cloud cover is expected across the island.

This is the moment many have been waiting for to soak up the uplifting atmosphere that celestial event can bring, potentially marking the start of a new cycle.

A “Supermoon” occurs when a full moon coincides with the Moon’s perigee—the point in its orbit closest to Earth. According to NASA:

• The Moon will be about 356,000 km from Earth.
• It can appear up to 30 % brighter than a typical full moon.
• Its apparent size can be 14 % larger than usual to the naked eye.

For astronomy enthusiasts, a full moon is always a visual treat, but when it aligns with a Supermoon, the lunar disk looks even larger and more luminous from Earth’s surface. Enjoy the show!
