The harvest supermoon, set to shine on October 17, will be 'the biggest and brightest supermoon' of 2024, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
The hunter's moon, named for hunting preparations in October, is recognized in several cultures, including Native Americans, who refer to it with names like 'drying rice moon'.
A supermoon appears about 30% brighter and nearly 15% bigger than a full moon at its farthest point from Earth, providing a unique celestial spectacle.
While the supermoon may appear larger, the difference in size can be subtle for most observers, as noted by Space.com.
