The is a apogee full Moon, that is a full Moon that occurs when furthest from the Earth. A “mini Moon if you will.
This is in contrast to the Perigee “super” Full Moon April 08. If you have a good memory you will see that this full Moon is smaller than the April one (although not by much to the unaided eye, but it will be clear in binoculars and telescopes).
Apogee actually occurs at 17:17 ACDST on the 31st. For WA, where Full Moon occurs on the 31st at 23:00 AWST their “mini Moon” occurs at the same time as the blue moon (the second full Moon in a month). Every one else has to wait until the end of November for their blue Moon.
Mercury is lost in the twilight..
Venus is still readily visible low above the horizon in the morning.
Mars is visible in the morning sky to the north-west, It is now readily visible in the evening sky. Mars is close to the variable star Mira, which is still reasonably bright. Mars was at opposition, when it is biggest and brightest as seen from Earth, on October the 14th, but is still worthwhile observing. Observing details and more at the Mars Opposition site.
Jupiter can be readily seen in the early evening sky. Jupiter and Saturn start around a hand-span apart at the beginning of the week but slowly draw closer. The pair are prominent in the evening skies along with Mars. Jupiter is setting around 1:30 am local time.
