Will it look much bigger?

A nearby full moon can appear larger and brighter than a distant one. Without a side-by-side comparison, the difference can be difficult to notice.

Are these local observing times?

Supermoon and Daeboreum dates use KST (UTC+9); lunar eclipses use UTC. Each eclipse page shows its stages in your city’s local time and whether the Moon is above the horizon; weather and terrain are not included.
