The earliest use of the term “Hunter’s Moon,” cited in the Oxford English Dictionary, is from 1710. Some sources suggest that other names for the Hunter’s Moon are the Sanguine or Blood Moon, either associated with the blood from hunting or the color of the changing autumn leaves.

The Hunter’s Moon is the first full moon that appears after the Harvest Moon. Sometimes it appears in November rather than October.

"In some areas and at certain times tonight, the moon will appear orange. Why? It looks orange because it’s in the sky opposite of the sun and will be visible on the horizon around the same time that the sun is setting, CBS shared. This means that the moon will reflect the sun’s light in a way that gives it an orange hue."

"According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, it also appears orange because the light reflecting off it must travel through more particles of air to reach our eyes, scattering the shorter blue wavelengths and leaving a more orange tint for you to see. This is because when you look straight ahead, you’re looking through a thicker atmosphere than when you look straight up, EarthSky shared."
