As the country sees its first significant intrusion of autumn air, October’s full moon will serve as a reminder that fall is well underway.
The moon will officially peak Sunday at 4:55 p.m. ET, meaning to see the moon at its brightest, North America will have to wait until the sun sets during the evening.
The Farmer’s Almanac says the occasion is known as the full "hunter’s moon" because it signifies the time period of the year when hunters can easily spot animals before winter starts rolling in.

The full moon will be the last event during 2022's Daylight Saving Time. Clocks will officially change on Sunday, November 6, as most of the U.S. will fall back to Standard Time.
