October's Hunter's Moon, the third supermoon of 2024, will rise later this week at dusk and set at dawn. As it does, it will be about 222,056 miles (357,364 kilometers) from Earth — the closest of any full moon this year, according to AstroPixels.
That makes this year's Hunter's Moon a perigean full moon, more popularly called a supermoon. According to the Adler Planetarium, a supermoon appears about 30% brighter and nearly 15% bigger than a full moon at its farthest point from Earth.
