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.

After a display of the rare Northern Lights and an appearance of a comet that may leave the solar system forever, the year’s largest supermoon completed October’s celestial trifecta.

The full Hunter's supermoon will be the brightest full moon this year and visible in our skies over the next couple of nights.
