Hunter’s Moon viewing times

The peak occurs at the same moment worldwide: 12:11 a.m. EDT in New York and 4:11 a.m. GMT in London on October 26. In Tokyo, it occurs at 1:11 p.m. JST that day.

In the United States, viewers can look toward the eastern horizon around sunset on October 25. Local moonrise times vary, so a local calendar can help identify when the Moon will appear.

How to see the full moon

In clear weather, the Moon is visible without a telescope. Binoculars can reveal more surface detail, while a Moon filter can make telescope viewing more comfortable by reducing the brightness.

Near the horizon, the Moon can appear unusually large because of an optical effect known as the Moon illusion. It may also look yellow or orange as its light travels through more of Earth’s atmosphere.
