A live broadcast from Griffith Observatory of the Moon rising on the eastern horizon at its most northern position in over 18 years. Join us online (weather permitting) to watch this event.
Northern Moonrise at the Major Lunar Standstill
Every 18.6 years, our Moon reaches the extremes of its orbit around the Earth. We observe this as the Moon rises and sets at its most northerly and southerly positions on the horizon. On the evening of November 7, we will observe the Moon rising as far to the north as it ever does. This happens during the Major Lunar Standstill.
