The Hunter's Moon will be the first full moon of autumn when it rises on Oct. 17. It will also be the third and closest supermoon of the year, according to Live Science.

As the moon rises, it will be about halfway between Saturn (to the moon's upper right) and Jupiter (to its lower left, rising about an hour after the full moon). Three nights later, on Sunday, Oct. 20, the moon will rise with Jupiter.

The most popular name for October's full moon is the Hunter's Moon because its appearance was once a signal for hunters to prepare for the upcoming winter, according to Almanac.com. That name has Anglo-Saxon origins, according to Timeanddate.com, though it's also been called the Falling Leaves Moon and the Blood Moon. (The latter name should not be confused with a total lunar eclipse, which is often given the same name due to the moon's reddish hue when obscured by Earth's shadow.)

The Hunter's Moon will also be the first full moon of autumn this year; the fall equinox occurred on Sunday, Sept. 22, shortly after the Harvest Moon rose on Sept. 17.

The next full moon will happen on Nov. 15. Known as the Beaver Moon, the Frost Moon and the Freezing Moon, it will be the final supermoon of 2024.
