October's full moon on Oct. 17 — also known as the Hunter's Moon — was not only a stunning supermoon, it was the brightest one of 2024. This particular supermoon was extra special since its orbit was closest to Earth, which made it appear brighter than any other supermoons this year, per Space.com.

This week's full moon is called the Hunter's Moon. It's also a supermoon, which is expected to be the brightest one of the year so far.

October’s full moon is the closest supermoon of the year, at a distance of about 222,055 miles from Earth. September’s full moon was just behind it, at 222,131 miles away. While any supermoon can appear bigger and brighter than usual, the proximity of this one adds to its effect.
