Hunter’s Moon, Saturn Expected Visible Tonight

The Hunter’s Moon is reaching peak illumination overnight, with the best views expected around sunset as it rises low in the eastern sky. Its orange tint and apparently larger size near the horizon result from atmospheric effects and the moon illusion. The traditional name refers to bright post-harvest nights that helped hunters prepare for winter; other Indigenous names reflect seasonal changes. Saturn may also be visible in some areas, and the next full moon, November’s Beaver Moon, is expected to be a supermoon.
