Hunter's supermoon is a rare and beautiful full moon. It looks larger and brighter because it’s closer to Earth.

A supermoon happens when the moon is full and at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, making it appear bigger and more vibrant in the sky.

The Hunter’s moon is the first full moon after the Harvest moon. Traditionally, it helped hunters by providing extra light to hunt for food before winter.

When the Hunter's moon coincides with the moon being at its closest point to Earth, it’s called the Hunter’s supermoon.

Take a look at these stunning images of Hunter's supermoon.

The moon appears bigger during a supermoon due to its proximity to Earth. This is because of the elliptical shape of the moon’s orbit.

The Hunter's supermoon usually occurs in October or November. It’s a perfect time to watch the moon rise just after sunset.

To get the best view, look for the supermoon when it’s near the horizon. It often looks more golden and even larger at that time.

There are usually three to four supermoons a year. However, the Hunter’s supermoon is special because it occurs once a year.

NASA confirms that a supermoon can be up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than a normal full moon.
