Timing's everything! FULL is coming! October 9, and forecast: Sunny and then CLEAR!!!

This month, the full Moon will reach peak illumination on two nights: Sunday, October 9 and Monday, October 10 (though you can start admiring her as early as Saturday). What's more, this October's full Moon brings a Hunter's Moon, a brilliant orange-hued Moon that appears larger for around 15 minutes.

I was born under one.

My husband had never heard the term and now loves to talk about gibbous moons. But I'm not sure he's exactly clear on how specific the phase is – he wants to use it so badly that he trots it out for first quarter and third quarter moons too.

That was part of the tables (ephemerides, they called them).

I bet you could google the lunar phase for your birth these days.
