The full Hunter's Moon rose to fill the autumn sky overnight on October 25 and 26, according to Space.com.
October's full moon is often called the Hunter's Moon. It got this name because it traditionally rose around the time hunters went out to newly harvested fields.
Photographer Bill Trojan captured a view of the full moon close to moonrise on October 25. Tayfun Coskun photographed the near-full moon over the skyscrapers of San Francisco on the same day, just before it set.
On that same night, Gary Hershorn photographed the full moon rising behind the Empire State Building from Hoboken, New Jersey. Lisa Shislowski photographed the moon near the lighthouse at Hillsboro Inlet in Pompano Beach, Florida.
In Italy, Davide Pischettola photographed the moon behind the stained glass windows and towers of the Basilica of the Madonna dei Martiri in Molfetta. In Türkiye, Sayim Harmanci photographed the moon at the heart of a neon star in Hakkari, and Salih Zeki Fazlioglu photographed the red-tinted moon alongside the historic Galata Tower in Istanbul.
