Event Description

October Full Moon – 1st of 3 supermoons in a row

A perigee is when the moon ‘s orbit is closest to the earth and a supermoon is when the full or new moon coincide (or almost coincide) with the perigee. What does that mean? The moon looks exceptionally big because it is close!

Full moons have many names derived from various cultures reflecting what was happening in the natural world.

October’s full moon is the Hunter’s Moon. Other autumnal names include Falling Leaves Moon, Drying Rice Moon, and Freezing Moon.
