Blood Moon

A Blood Moon hangs over an autumn landscape in Sweden on October 11.

Also known as the Hunter's Moon, the Blood Moon is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon, which usually appears around the fall equinox. Around this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere, the moon rises a bit earlier than usual. It's thought the monikers arose because the fall full moons provided plentiful light for hunters tracking prey after sunset.

(Also see pictures of a lunar eclipse in June that turned the moon blood red.)
