Get ready for a spectacular sight!

Grab your cameras! In just a few days, July’s full supermoon will be the brightest of the year.

According to NASA, This full moon (the Buck Moon, Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, Mead Mood, Rose Moon, Guru Moon, etc) also comes with a partial penumbral lunar eclipse. The Moon will appear full for about three days around the eclipse, from Friday evening into Monday morning, making this a full Moon weekend. The Moon will be close enough to opposite the Sun that its northern edge will pass through the partial shadow of the Earth called a partial penumbral eclipse. Its likely that watching the full moon rise would be more enjoyable, especially from the beach. In Jacksonville, the moon rise will be at 8:23p.m.
