TO MARK the cosmic event – Supermoon – on November 5, the Gujarat Council on Science and Technology (GUJCOST) Gandhinagar, through its Regional Science Centres (RSCs) and Community Science Centres (CSCs) across every district of Gujarat, will organise special Supermoon Watch programmes on the evenings of November 4-6.

The night sky of 5 November will dazzle with the brightest and biggest Supermoon of the year, a celestial spectacle that will light up the skies across Gujarat and beyond, a statement issued by the Council on Monday said.

This extraordinary full Moon on November 5 will appear nearly 14 per cent larger and 30 per cent brighter than usual, as it reaches its closest point to Earth—about 357,000 kilometres away—offering a breathtaking view for skywatchers, said the statement.
