Some Native American tribes referred to this month's full moon as the Hunter’s Moon. After September's Harvest Moon, it was a time to hunt to continue preparations for the long winter. It is also known as the Travel Moon or the Dying Grass Moon. The moon rises just after sunset and sets at sunrise, so this is the only night in the month when the moon will be visible all night long. It's near perigee (closest to Earth) so it should appear very large. I hope you get a chance to take a look! I am an early riser, so this morning's walk was very bright indeed. Dr. A. Weil
The full moon is tonight!
