FALL FULL MOON - October's full harvest moon silhouettes maple leaves still on the trees. The October full moon is the first supermoon of the year. A supermoon occurs when the moon reaches perigee, or its nearest point to our planet, making it appear larger and fuller. The moniker harvest moon comes from it is the full moon event closest to autumnal equinox, or the first day of fall. Historically, the moon's bright light helped farmers complete their harvests for the year, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
