The full moon in October is also known as the “hunter’s moon” because it marks the beginning of the hunting season, signaling to hunters to begin preparing for colder conditions, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. The “hunter’s moon” follows the “harvest moon,” a moon phase that signals the best time for harvesters to reap their crops.

Photographers from across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire caught the supermoon on camera.

The name Hunter's Moon is derived from Native American, European and colonial sources. Look for it tonight -- and you can see a comet, too.
