==History==
== Description ==
[[Darkstalker]] was born on a brightest night, and [[Whiteout]] also was supposed to be - however, newborn Darkstalker prevented this with his powers. Not much is known about the rare phenomenon, other than the fact that [[NightWings]] born under three full moons hatch with very powerful prophecy and mind-reading powers. The specific date for the next brightest night would be around 5,106 AS.
Brightest nights occur when all three moons are full on the same night.{{Ref|MR|156}}


==Next Brightest Night==
At the time of ''[[Darkstalker (Legends)|Darkstalker]]'', [[NightWings]] thought [[dragonets]] who hatched on the brightest night would have [[animus]] powers, but it was later concluded the third moon would only enhance their foresight and mind-reading.{{Ref|MR|156}}
During the events of ''[[The Brightest Night]]'', there appears to be a second brightest night, many decades before the next one should have been. This was caused by two full moons and a comet passing very close by the planet. The next true Brightest Night would be about one hundred years after the one the dragonets hatched on.


==Trivia==
== Timeline ==
*It is mentioned several times throughout the series that Clearsight may have thought of the brightest night as a curse, because of the powerful NightWings that could hatch from it like Darkstalker.
* [[Darkstalker (L1)|Darkstalker]]'s hatching night happened on a brightest night, one of the three instances where brightest nights have occurred in the series.{{Ref|L1|10}}
*There is probably a Darkest Night, where all of the moons are new. This has never been mentioned, and probably has no major significance.
* During an unspecified point in history when [[Queen Cicada]] ruled the [[HiveWings]], a brightest night occurred.{{Ref|AGttDW|190}}
* Any NightWing born on a Brightest Night will have enhanced mind reading and future seeing powers.
* A brightest night occurred in 5,005 AS when the [[dragonets of destiny]] hatched.{{Ref|TDPp}}
** [[Starflight]] is the only known NightWing to hatch on the brightest night and not have any powers. This is likely because he hatched underground, away from the moonlight, as the [[Guardians of the Dragonets|guardians of the dragonets]] were unaware that it would gift him powers.
* A false brightest night occurred in 5,011 AS{{Ref|TBN|263}} when a [[Skyfire|comet]] passed through the sky, acting as a false fourth moon and causing earthquakes.{{Ref|MR|127}}
