What is the Hunter’s Moon?

October’s full Moon will start being visible on Thursday and it is set to be the brightest supermoon of the year.

Supermoons happen when the Moon is closest to the Earth, appearing much bigger and brighter than normal.

October’s full Moon is called the Hunter’s Moon because it occurs when hunters would traditionally have been most active.
