The Hunter's Moon is the full moon following the Harvest Moon. It rises around the same time for several nights, providing early light for fall harvests and hunting activities. The Farmer's Almanac explains that the term "Hunter's Moon" refers to the period after leaves have fallen, making prey easier to spot for hunters with the added moonlight.

While a supermoon is technically bigger and brighter than a regular full Moon, it only appears about 7% larger—which can be an imperceptible difference to the human eye, depending on other conditions.
