Full Hunter's Moon October 26

Hi all:

October's full moon occurs on the twenty-sixth this year. Here's what Space.com has to say:

Oct. 26, 12:52 a.m. EDT - The Full Hunter's Moon.

With the leaves falling and the deer fattened, it is time to hunt. Since the fields have been reaped, hunters can ride over the stubble, and can more easily see the fox, also other animals that have come out to glean and can be caught for a thanksgiving banquet after the harvest.

The Moon will also be at perigee later this day, at 7:00 a.m., at a distance of 221,676 miles from Earth. Very high tides can be expected from the coincidence of perigee with full Moon.

Enjoy!
