(WDNews) — The first full moon of autumn, known as the Hunter’s Moon, will rise on Oct. 17, marking the third and closest supermoon of 2024. The moon will appear full from Oct. 15 through Oct. 18, but you’ll have to wait until Thursday evening to see the hunter’s moon reach its peak. At its peak, the moon will be approximately 222,056 miles from Earth, making it the nearest full moon of the year.

The next full moon, called the Beaver Moon, is set to rise on Nov. 15, rounding out the final supermoon of the year.
