Hunter's Supermoon Seen From Colombo, Sri Lanka

A close view of the Hunter's Supermoon over the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka, on October 17, 2024. October's full moon is known as the Hunter's Moon because it is the time of year when leaves start to fall and animals have plumped up over the summer, ready for winter. Ancient communities therefore increase hunting at this time of year. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
