The October full moon, called the Hunter\u2019s Moon, occurred locally at 9 p.m. Sunday. According to Universe Today, a popular space and astronomy news website, \u201cThe Hunter\u2019s Moon typically appears in October, except once every four years when it doesn\u2019t appear until November. The name dates back to the First Nations of North America. It is so-called because it was during the month of October, when deer had fatted themselves over the course of the summer, that hunters tracked and killed prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the coming winter.\u201d The next full moon, the Beaver Moon, will peak on Nov. 26 and will be a Supermoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A private plane heading south over Santa Cruz Sunday flies in front of the full moon.
