Tonight’s moon will be the biggest and the brightest of the year, states former president Abdulla Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom.

Maumoon, via a post on X, said tonight’s moon will be a Super Hunter’s Moon which will rise at 17:49pm this evening and set at 6:23am tomorrow morning.

Super Hunter’s moon occurs when a moon is at or near the closest point in its orbit, causing the harvest moon to look dramatically more radiant and larger than usual.

Although former present Maumoon has faded away from the political scene, he shares his knowledge on astronomy via his social media platforms once a while.
