Micromoon

What you might notice tonight is that the moon will be brighter — about 30 percent brighter than a micromoon.

On Friday the 13th, a harvest micromoon will grace the night sky across the United States.

For a micromoon and Friday the 13th full moon to occur together is extraordinarily rare. The last time it happened was in 1832 and it won't happen again for more than 500 years according to Tony Rice, a meteorologist and engineer at NASA.

Most of the eclipse will be dominated by the shadow moving across the moon, with a brief period where it will appear as a blood micromoon in our night sky.
