Tonight's Full Moon is known as the Hunter's Moon and will be the biggest
and brightest Supermoon of the year according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
This month's moon orbits closer to the Earth than any of the previous full Moons
this year. At its nearest point, the Hunter's Moon will be 222,005 miles from Earth,
making it the closest Supermoon of 2024. The moon will rise just after sunset tonight.

This moon is called the Full Hunter's Moon because at this time of the year,
deer can often be seen in the pre-dawn hours grazing in the bright moonlight
in harvested farm fields and orchards, thus giving hunters an advantage
in their quest for a haunch of venison or smoked deer sausage.

And now... a little Full Moon magic...
