Dazzling Supermoon Lights Up Global Skylines
This week, a spectacular supermoon, known as both the Harvest Moon and Hunter’s Moon, captivated skywatchers worldwide. Rising on October 6, 2025, it marked one of the brightest and closest full moons of the year, illuminating city skylines from Paris to Taipei with a radiant glow.
Significance of the Harvest and Hunter’s Moons
Traditionally, the Harvest Moon is the full moon nearest the start of autumn, aiding farmers with extra light during harvest time. The Hunter’s Moon follows, named for the period when hunters prepared for winter by gathering food. This October supermoon combined both names due to its timing, symbolizing abundance and preparation for the colder months ahead.
Capturing the Moment
Photographers and enthusiasts worldwide shared stunning images of the glowing orb framed by iconic landmarks. Its warm, amber hues and exceptional brightness made it a memorable celestial event, inspiring many to reconnect with the night sky and its timeless rhythms.
