IN PHOTOS: Hunter’s Moon lights up the night sky in Thompson-Okanagan | iINFOnews

October 21, 2021 – 8:35 AM

The first fall full moon was last night and in parts of Thompson-Okanagan the sky cleared enough to get a glimpse of the bright orb.

The hunter’s moon was visible last night, October 20, depending on local weather, across the northern hemisphere.

EarthSky.org has stated that the name Hunter’s Moon is rooted in the fall hunt where the bright October moon would provide evening light for hunters to complete their work.
