Overview
- The full phase occurred around 05:47–05:48 MESZ on 7 October, with the Moon roughly 361,000–361,500 kilometers from Earth.
- It opens a three‑event sequence, followed by closer supermoons on 5 November (about 357,000 kilometers) and 4 December.
- Germany saw largely overcast skies, with the DWD noting only occasional breaks, especially toward the Elbe region.
- The bright Moon will suppress most Draconids meteors during their 6–10 October activity, with a brief early‑evening window before moonrise offering limited chances on 8 October.
- NASA says such perigee full moons can appear up to about 14% larger and 30% brighter than the year’s smallest full moon, and “supermoon” is a popular rather than official term.
