Today marks the first full moon on Halloween since 1944. According to NASA the next one won't happen until 2039.
The Harvest Moon, which usually appears in September occurred on October 1 this year. The Harvest Moon is the moon that appears closest to the autumnal equinox and the moon that appeared on on September 2 occurred to early for that to be the case.
Today's full moon, called the Hunter's Moon, is most often an October occurrence and refers to when game was traditionally fattened and preparations for winter began.
This afternoon Dale and I caught a good chunk of The Wolf Man with Lon Chaney Jr. on Turner Classic Movies. How appropriate for today.
