Many cultures named full moons throughout the year to keep track of time, planting seasons, and other important events. These names come from traditions in Native American, European, and Colonial American times.
Best Moon Viewing
The best time to photograph the Hunter’s Moon is during moonrise or moonset, at the golden hours of dawn and dusk.
Photographers are advised to use a zoom lens, tripod, and plan carefully to capture the beauty of the moon against the landscape or cityscape for dramatic shots.
The last supermoon of 2024 will be the Beaver Moon, set to appear on November 15, 2024, at 4:29 p.m. ET.
