When the Sun starts to set on the Western horizon, a full moon will rise opposite to it on the East, reflecting the light of our home star.
Being close to the horizon, the orange Moon will be gigantic thanks to a psychological effect called the Moon illusion. The sky will be illuminated by the Sun and the Moon at the same time, creating a weird 360-degree effect that is rarely seen.
The event will probably not reoccur until 2029.
And as an added bonus, when the summer ends at 10:09pm Central Time, Jupiter will appear right next to the Moon.
