Stake out a super view because Hunter’s Moon, the first of three full moons in fall, is also a supermoon.

According to Space.com, it will also be the largest moon of 2024, appearing ~14% brighter than usual. You’ve got to set your alarm clock — the moon will reach its peak at 6:27 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 17. However, it arrives at its closest point to Earth the evening before at 7:48 p.m.

Keep an eye on your calendar for a chance to see two more upcoming full moons: Beaver Moon (Nov. 15 — also the last supermoon of the year) and Cold Moon (Dec. 15).
