Biggest and brightest 'supermoon' of 2024 to grace the sky this October

Posted on Oct 12 2024 - 10:36pm

October is set to host this year’s lunar showstopper, the biggest supermoon of 2024, reaching peak illumination at 6:26 p.m. CST on Thursday, Oct. 17, according to the 2024 lunar calendar

As the largest full moon of the year, the moon will appear larger and more orange in the sky as it rises over the horizon around sunset, marking the swing of the fall season, the Old Farmer's Almanac reported. Supermoons are slightly closer to Earth than average full moons due to the moon’s orbit, making them appear larger and brighter from Earth’s perspective.

Last month’s supermoon did not disappoint, and in the days to come, skywatchers can enjoy this month’s even bigger and brighter full moon, set to be the closest of the year.

As the time of year to start preparing for winter, early settlers in the Northern Hemisphere called this full moon the Hunter’s Moon, marking the period to begin slaughtering and preserving meats, according to Time and Date in its October full moon phase report. Since this month’s moon rises around the same time for several nights, the early light provided extra time for harvesting and hunting, hence the name Hunter’s Moon, which is still widely used today, the report noted.

The final supermoon of 2024 will occur on Nov. 15. However, it won’t be as “super” as this month’s supermoon, which will appear big and bright in the night sky for a few days before and after reaching peak illumination on Thursday, Oct. 17.
