Ever noticed that Halloween pictures always show a full Moon? Well, this year, October 31 brings a Halloween Blue Moon! How rare is a full Moon on Halloween? Let’s learn more about the mythical Moon on this rather mystical night!
A Halloween Blue Moon in October 2020
The next Halloween full Moon occurs this year! We’ll see two full Moons this October: the first occurs on Thursday, October 1, and the second occurs on Saturday, October 31. Halloween’s full Moon will be extra special, since it will be the second of the month and, therefore, a “Blue Moon.”
October’s first full Moon will be called the Harvest Moon, while the second will be the Hunter’s Moon. If you prefer a more creative name, you could call this special full Moon the “Hunter’s Blue Moon on Halloween.”
