Moongazers were treated to the rise of the Hunter’s Moon on 25 and 26 October 2026.<\/p>\n

The Hunter’s Moon marked the rise of the October full Moon.<\/p>\n

It was also the last full Moon before three supermoons in a row that will appear in November and December 2026 and January 2027.<\/p>\n

The Hunter’s Moon<\/a> is so-called because October historically was the month when hunters would be most active, gathering food and preparing for the cold, dark months ahead.<\/p>\n

These days, however, the Hunter’s Moon marks the return of high-rising autumnal full Moons to the night sky, which benefit from earlier sunsets and later sunrises.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the best images of the Hunter’s Moon we received from readers across the world.<\/p>\n
