To infinity and beyond? For those intrigued by outer space, this month's hunter moon will also be a supermoon, "which occurs when a moon is at or near the closest point in its orbit, causing the harvest moon to look dramatically more radiant and larger than usual”. This year's hunter moon, which is just another term used for October's full moon, will be the biggest and brightest supermoon of the year. 

If you are interested in viewing this supermoon, it is expected to reach peak illumination on Thursday morning, Oct. 17, 2024, at 7:26 am ET in the United States. 

This year's full moon in October is also referred to as a supermoon, which occurs when a moon is at or near the closest point in its orbit, causing the harvest moon to look dramatically more radiant and larger than usual.
