On Friday the 13th, a full 'harvest moon' will be visible in the night sky.
For skywatchers in the Pacific, Mountain and Central time zones, the moon will turn full on Friday evening. For those in the Eastern time zone, it will turn full just after midnight on Saturday morning. But Hartigan recommends heading out early to catch the moon as it emerges. “I would go out soon after sunset — you want to try maybe a half hour after the sun goes down,” Hartigan said. “You should be able to get a nice view of the moon for several nights in a row and watch it rise.
No special equipment is needed to view the moon, of course, though binoculars allow you to make out features such as craters and lava fields on the lunar surface. It’s rare for a full moon to coincide with Friday the 13th. The last time the two events synced up across the entire nation was on Oct. 13, 2000. The next time will be on Aug. 13, 2049.
