Phoenix Shines Bright Under the Supermoon!

Last night, Phoenix had a front-row seat to one of the most stunning celestial events of the year—the Supermoon! The full moon appeared bigger and brighter in the sky, captivating stargazers across the Valley. Known as the “Harvest Moon,” this Supermoon reached its peak brightness as it rose, illuminating the desert landscape with a glow so intense it felt like twilight.

What made this moon “super”? It was closer to Earth than usual, making it appear about 14% larger and 30% brighter. Phoenix’s clear skies provided the perfect canvas for this magical lunar display, and whether you were catching it from your backyard or hiking up South Mountain for an elevated view, it was impossible to miss the dazzling lunar show.

For those lucky enough to snap a photo, the Supermoon lit up the desert with a golden hue, making for some spectacular Instagram-worthy shots! If you missed it, don’t worry—another one will rise next year. But this Supermoon will be hard to forget!

Keep your eyes to the skies, Phoenix—you never know what stunning sights are waiting above!
