Under the hunter’s moon

The “hunter’s moon,” the October full moon, rises above the Acropolis. The phenomenon is essentially a supermoon as it coincides with the period when the moon is closest to the Earth’s orbit. The names of the moon are usually associated with the activities that took place at this time of year. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term “hunter’s moon” dates back to 1710.
