The Orionid meteor shower is currently in-progress and is set to last until Nov. 22. In terms of visibility, it will peak on Oct. 21. This is when the new moon for October begins, and without a moon lighting the sky, other objects become a lot more visible from Earth.

When it doesn't fall on the date closest to the autumn equinox, the moon is named the Hunter Moon. The Algonquin Native Americans gave it this name because it signaled when it was time to start hunting for Winter, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

The autumn sky is expected to be lit up brighter than it has all year, thanks to the supermoon rising today and a meteor shower to follow.• Video Above: Mysterious light

Flooding is a persistent problem in East Hollywood, made worse by the current king tides—the highest tides of the year.

The full moon closest to the autumnal equinox is called the Harvest Moon. In 2025, that falls in October, so this full moon takes the name Harvest Moon instead of the usual Hunter’s Moon.

The first supermoon of the year is almost here. The moon will appear slightly larger and brighter on Monday. It's the first of three supermoons this year.

The zodiac sign of each full moon is determined by where the moon sits in the night sky in relation to the astrological wheel. Because the moon’s position changes every year, each Hunter's Moon carries its own unique influence, Thomas explained.

The first supermoon of the year is expected to light up the skies late Monday night into early Tuesday morning.
