October’s harvest moon will light up the sky

Posted By on October 5, 2025

The first super full moon of the year is coming soon, and will be a special one for those living in the Northern Hemisphere ‒ it will also be what is known as a “harvest moon.”

This visual spectacular will appear low on the horizon, making it ideal for taking pictures or just enjoying a brilliant fall evening sky, weather permitting, of course.According to Space.com, the Moon will reach full phase on Oct. 7 at 11:48 p.m. ET (8:48 p.m. PT) when it reaches the point in the sky opposite from the sun (180 degrees).

There will be three consecutive supermoons over the coming months:

  • The Harvest supermoon on Oct. 7
  • The Beaver supermoon on Nov. 5
  • The Cold Supermoon on Dec. 4
