Worth knowing

Where does the name ‘Hunter’s Moon"?

Hunter’s Moon (English Hunter's Moon) is a traditional full moon name associated with October. The name comes from traditions of preparing for winter and hunting after the main harvest. This is a culturalname, not an astronomical one - popularised by the American Farmers’ Almanac.

Full moon in October 2004 occurs on 28 October at 05:07 Polish local time (CEST), when the disc is illuminated by almost 100%. The Moon rises around dusk and shines almost all night - in autumn it rises early and remains visible long after dusk. A good time for observing the Moon, but also a night when bright light may make falling asleep harder.

Prepare your sleep for a bright night

  • Dim bright bedroom lights an hour before bed.
  • Cover your windows to keep outside light out.
  • Limit blue light from screens in the evening - evening glasses can help.
  • If you cannot darken the room fully, an eye mask can help.
