October’s full moon, known as the “Hunter’s moon” is coming this weekend, but weather might make the view a hit or miss for some areas. The full moon peaks late Sunday night, or early Monday morning, for anyone in the Eastern Daylight Time Zone: EDT: 12:12 am (Monday)CDT: 11:12 pm (Sunday)MDT: 10:12 pm (Sunday)PDT, MST: 9:12 pm (Sunday)Whether or not the weather will let you see the full moon is another question. A large cold front and developing low pressure system stretching across the middle third of the country will create less than ideal viewing conditions for the Plains and Upper Midwest. The Pacific Northwest is facing a similar problem with a storm system moving in from the Pacific Ocean. A super moon but not a supermoonIf you manage to get outside to view the full moon, you might describe the experience as “super”, but it is not in fact a supermoon. A supermoon happens when the moon is full at the same time as it is at its perigee, or the point in its orbit closest to the Earth.
