The moon was spectacular last night, but on October 24, when she will rise shortly after 6:30 pm, she will be full!
October's full moon was traditionally known as the "full hunter moon" because it was the perfect time to go hunting for food before winter. But she also has some other names. You may know it under the name of "moon of whole blood" or even "dry moon".
Here's a little reminder of the full moon:
The moon is a sphere that travels once around the Earth every 27.3 days. It also takes about 27 days for the moon to rotate. So, the moon always shows us the same face. When the moon turns around the Earth, it is illuminated from different angles by the sun. what you see when you look at the moon is reflected by the sunlight. On average, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, which means that it sometimes rises during the day and during the night.
By the way, the full moon may look round, but it actually has the shape of an egg whose pointed end faces the Earth.
The moon is 10 times brighter when she is full than when she is in quarter of phase. Wrap up and go outside; if everything is clear, you can not miss it!
