Despite recent daylight saving time changes, it should be dark enough for most of the United States to enjoy the view. The moon will remain nearly full from December 2nd through the 6th.No special equipment is needed to enjoy this spectacle, but binoculars or a telescope can enhance the experience by revealing craters and textures.
