Hunter's Moon over Seattle will be Friday, OCT. 22. In this photo the moon is pictured behind an Alki street light for effect. This photo was taken Tuesday night, OCT. 19.
October 22 will be the annual Hunter's Moon, the full moon following the Harvest Moon . The Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs nearest the autumnal equinox, which was Sept. 23 this year. Called the Hunter's Moon because its light in the evening extends the day’s length for hunters. The Hunter's moon is not brighter than other full moons, but rises sooner once the sun sets compared to other full moons.
