by The Hunter’s Moon will reach peak illumination at 4:24 P.M. Eastern Time on Saturday, October 28.
It will be below the horizon, so we’ll have to wait until sunset to watch it rise and take its place in the sky.
As the Moon drifts over the horizon around sunset, it may appear larger and more orange—how perfect for the fall season!
But don’t be fooled by the “Moon Illusion,” which makes the Moon appear bigger than it is.
This particular full Moon is commonly referred to as the full Hunter’s Moon.
It is believed that this name originates from the fact that it was a signal for hunters to prepare for the upcoming cold winter by going hunting.
