The next full moon is set to appear tonight (August 30) at 9:35 p.m. ET. Not only will it be August's second full moon, making it a Blue Moon, but it's also the closest supermoon of the year. So, if there ever was a time to get out your telescope (or buy a new one so you won't be left out of the celestial action), now's the time. Plus, the best time to stargaze is within the two weeks before and after a new moon, aka two weeks from now. You could have your new telescope by then!
