Full moon

Moonstruck! Get Ready for a Celestial Show with October's Hunter's Supermoon!

The Hunter's Supermoon is coming! Don't miss this bright spectacle lighting up the night sky on October 17th! 🌕✨

As the leaves turn and the air becomes crisp, October isn’t just about pumpkin spicing everything; it’s also here to dazzle us with a celestial event you won't want to miss. Mark your calendars for October 17, 2024, when the Hunter’s Supermoon makes its grand debut! This isn’t just any full moon; it’s the biggest and brightest that 2024 has to offer, lighting up the night sky like a huge, glowing lantern. What's special about this moon? It's also known as the full moon in Aries, which means it brings an energetic vibe that encourages us to hunt down our goals and dreams, making it the perfect time for a little moonlit motivation!

The Hunter's Supermoon is the third of four consecutive supermoons we’ve been privileged to witness this year. If you thought the July Buck Supermoon or the August Sturgeon Supermoon were amazing, just wait until you see this one! According to NASA, while this moon appears just slightly brighter than its predecessors, it’s enough to catch your attention and inspire some late-night escapades under its glow. So whether you're in Iowa, California, or anywhere in between, prepare for an evening of magnum-sized moon magic!

Don't forget your telescopes, cameras, and perhaps your best friends, because watching the full moon is like hitting the cosmic jackpot! As the Hunter’s Supermoon rises high in the sky, remember to embrace that fiery Aries energy and go after whatever you’ve been wanting – a new hobby, a fresh start, or even that last slice of pumpkin pie. After all, with the moon illuminating your path, who could say no?

Now, for some fun facts: Did you know the term "Supermoon" was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979? It occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth in its orbit, making it appear about 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual. Also, if you're an astronomy geek, you'll get to enjoy not just the Hunter’s Supermoon, but also the Orionid meteor shower around the same time! Take a moment this month to soak in the brilliance of the universe; who knows, maybe you’ll spot a shooting star as you make that special wish!
