(LaPorte, IN) - You've been cooped up for days. Have you been wanting to do something as a family that isn't watching TV and still is safe amid the COVID-19 quarantine? According to the Farmer's Almanac, tonight's full moon will be one for stargazers. It's not only a supermoon, but a pink one at that.
According to CNN, Supermoons occur when the moon is within 90% of perigee -- which is its closest approach to Earth in orbit. The moon will appear brighter and bigger in the night sky, and hopefully, no clouds and inclement weather will obscure the view.
NW Indiana is, however, expecting thunderstorms this evening and the storm clouds could obscure our view. The optimum viewing time will be 10:35 pm EDT to midnight this evening and even into the early morning hours of Wednesday, according to EarthSky.org.
