The name Hunter's Moon is derived from Native American, European and colonial sources. Look for it tonight -- and you can see a comet, too.

Tonight's full moon will be a special sight - a supermoon. A large, bright orange hunter's moon will rise and shine for days. Here's when to watch.

October's supermoon, known as the "Hunter's Moon," will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. Why it matters: The third of this year's four consecutive supermoons arrives during an active month of skywatching between rare northern lights sightings and the once-in-a-lifetime comet.
