Stargazing at Frosty Drew While any of the clear-sky nights will serve for views of the Harvest Moon or the stars, each Friday the Frosty Drew Obseratory in Westerly, the best stargazing spot in the state, hosts a free stargazing night, with preregistration required. According to Space.com, the evening will also feature a Supermoon: “Supermoons are full moons that occur at or near perigee — when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit — and offer a great time for seasoned lunar skywatchers as the moon can appear slightly bigger and brighter.”
