The Hunter’s Moon: 2025’s First Supermoon Shines October 7
Get ready, skywatchers! On October 7, 2025, the night sky will deliver one of the year’s most spectacular sights — the Hunter’s Moon, which also happens to be 2025’s very first Supermoon. This dazzling lunar event promises a breathtaking view, glowing larger, brighter, and more golden than an ordinary full moon.
🌕 What Is the Hunter’s Moon?
The Hunter’s Moon is the first full moon that follows the Harvest Moon, which is closest to the autumn equinox. Traditionally, its bold golden glow helped hunters track game during the post-harvest season, giving it its memorable name.
Unlike other full moons, the Hunter’s Moon rises just after sunset for several consecutive evenings, keeping the night sky brilliantly lit.
✨ Why This One Is Special
This isn’t just any full moon — it’s a Supermoon. A Supermoon occurs when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit (perigee) while full. The result? The Moon appears up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual.
That means October 7 won’t just bring the traditional Hunter’s Moon — it will be a super-sized, golden spectacle unlike any other night of the year.
