The full moon of the October fighter gets up on Wednesday on inflated tides that could cause minor flooding in some areas along the Intracoastal Waterway in Palm Beach County.
The moon fills at 12:45 sharp, but will not come out above the eastern horizon before 7:07 pm. It is the second full moon after the autumn equinox.
If the moon were generous, it would not surpass Uranus, who will be sitting to his left. But Earth's only permanent natural satellite is a sensor of attention, which means that Uranus can not be seen with the naked eye, said columnists Bruce McClure and Deborah Byrd in the EarthSky online magazine .org.
"Even in a dark moonless night, Uranus appears – at best – in the form of a faint patch of light for the eyes only," they wrote. "You need an exceptional vision to see this distant world without optical help, even under the best conditions."
Seasonal high tides will also be rising this week, but meteorologists at the National Weather Service in Miami have said they should not cause widespread flooding.
Look for royal tides between Wednesday and Thursday. Water levels should be up to one foot above normal.
Wednesday's full moon is dubbed the hunter's moon, although we know why and how it is named. The Old Farmer's Almanac indicates that the moon was named by the Indians because October was the perfect time to go hunting for the winter. It is also called "travel moon" and "dying grass" moon.
