Fun fact...October's full moon gets its name from old farming and hunting traditions. Hunters used the moonlight to track their prey and stock up for the winter. The Hunter's Moon is also the first supermoon of the year. This means it will be at or near its closest approach to earth in it's monthly orbit. Because of its proximity, it will appear 30% brighter and up to 14% larger compared to a typical new moon.
