October's Full Hunter's Moon Illuminates Sky, Coincides with Partial Lunar Eclipse

This year's Hunter's Moon coincided with a partial lunar eclipse.

The full Hunter's Moon, a celestial event that occurs every October, illuminated the night sky over the weekend. This year's Hunter's Moon was particularly special as it coincided with a partial lunar eclipse, making it a spectacle for skywatchers across the globe. The Hunter's Moon is the full moon that follows the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. The name 'Hunter's Moon' originates from Native American tribes, who used the bright moonlight to hunt and prepare for the winter.

The partial lunar eclipse, also known as a penumbral lunar eclipse, occurred when the moon moved through the Earth's outer shadow, causing a slight dimming of the moon's brightness. However, this type of eclipse is subtle and often difficult to observe. Despite this, many skywatchers and photographers were able to capture stunning images and videos of the event.

The next Hunter's Moon is expected to occur in October 2023. Skywatchers are advised to check local listings for the best viewing times in their area.
