Next full moon in new york

Where to See the Moon in NYC

Every now and then, you don't have to take one giant leap for mankind to see the moon at its best. Here on Earth, we are lucky enough to see about 12 or 13 full moons every year and 2-4 of them are usually supermoons. A supermoon occurs when the full moon is slightly closer to Earth in its elliptical orbit, giving it a larger appearance. Discover some of the best places to get a front-row seat whether you're on land, water or air (tram).

(Helpful tip: public parks close around 1 am, so don't stay out too late!)
