The Hunter's Moon, a full moon that typically appears in October, was visible on the night of October 27, 2023. This year, the event coincided with a lunar eclipse, making it a particularly noteworthy celestial event. The Hunter's Moon is so named because it was traditionally a time when hunters would use the moonlight to hunt for food in preparation for winter. The moon appeared larger and more orange than usual, due to its proximity to the horizon. This effect, known as the 'moon illusion', is caused by the moon's light passing through more of the Earth's atmosphere, which scatters the shorter, blue and green wavelengths and allows the longer, red wavelengths to reach our eyes. The lunar eclipse, on the other hand, occurred when the Earth moved between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. This event was visible to observers in many parts of the world, including Maryland, USA. Observers were advised to look for the moon and the eclipse after sunset, when they would be most visible.
