    October’s full moon orbits closer to Earth than any other full moon this year so far, making it a special supermoon that appears brighter and larger when viewed over several days.

    October’s full moon, also known as the iconic Hunter’s Moon, will be the third of four consecutive supermoons this year.

    Here you can view October’s supermoon.

    When is the full moon in October 2024?

    The next full moon is on Thursday, October 17, with peak illumination at 7:26 a.m. Eastern. It’s below the horizon, so wait until sunset to see it rise and appear in the sky.

    Like September’s Harvest Moon, the Hunter Moon will rise around the same time several nights.

    • 🌑 New moon: October 2
    • 🌓 First quarter: October 10
    • 🌕 Full moon: October 17
    • 🌗 Last quarter: October 24

    Why is it called the Hunter’s Moon?

    The name of the hunter’s moon comes from the traditional hunting season, as the brighter moonlight allowed hunters to track and gather game in preparation for the frigid days and nights of the coming winter.

    According to the Farmer’s Almanac, October marked the season in the Northern Hemisphere where the falling leaves and persistent moonlight made it easier to see and hunt animals at night and the undergrowth was not as thick, making hunting and tracking easier.

    The term hunter’s moon dates back to 1710, although it is also known as sanguine or blood moon, and also refers to the blood of the hunt or the color of changing autumn leaves.

    What is a supermoon?

    A supermoon occurs when the moon’s orbit is closest to Earth at the time the moon is full. According to NASA, at a distance of about 220,000 miles from Earth, the full moon appears brighter and larger than a regular full moon, hence the term supermoon.

    This October supermoon will drift over the horizon around sunset and the illusion of a larger and brighter orange moon will appear because of how close it is to Earth.

    When is the next full moon in November 2024?

    The next full moon, the Beaver Moon, will occur on Friday, November 15. It is the last superman before 2024.

    The supermoons won’t return until October 2025.
