🌕 The Last Three Full Moons of 2026 Are Bringing Some Beautiful Night-Sky Moments!
✨ OCTOBER 26 — THE HUNTER’S MOON
October’s full Moon is traditionally known as the Hunter’s Moon. Its name comes from autumn traditions in the Northern Hemisphere. Around this time of year, the Moon can appear especially orange near the horizon because its light travels through more of Earth’s atmosphere.
🦫 NOVEMBER 24 — THE BEAVER MOON
The November full Moon is commonly called the Beaver Moon. This traditional name is associated with seasonal changes in late autumn. The Moon may look especially striking when it rises above the horizon, although its color and apparent size depend on viewing conditions.
❄️ DECEMBER 24 — THE COLD MOON
The December full Moon is known as the Cold Moon, a name associated with the colder nights of the Northern Hemisphere. Its bright light can illuminate the winter landscape and make for a beautiful night of skywatching.
🌌 Here’s something fascinating: a full Moon occurs when the Moon’s Earth-facing side is almost completely illuminated by sunlight. The Moon doesn’t create its own light—it reflects the Sun’s!
