Description
“Yes, I am a dreamer,
For a dreamer is one
Who can find history by
Moonlight, and see the
Dawn before the rest of the world.”
~ Oscar Wilde
~1854-1900
A rare full Halloween Blue Hunter’s Moon rises October 31, 2020 over Cedar Creek Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
October 2020 had two full moons: the full Harvest Moon October 1 and the full Hunter’s Moon October 31.
The second full moon in a month is referred to as a Blue Moon. Typically, the next moon after the harvest moon is known as a Hunter’s Moon – when hunters used moonlight to hunt prey and prepare for winter.
The last full moon seen in all U.S. time zones on Halloween occurred in 1944 and won’t happen again until 2039.
