Live view of the fourth and last supermoon of 2024 from Italy. A supermoon occurs when a full lunar phase syncs up with an especially close swing around Earth. This usually happens only three or four times a year and consecutively, given the moon’s constantly shifting, oval-shaped orbit. Credit: Gianluca Masi Virtual Telescope Project #supermoon #italy
