There's a lot of discrepancy surrounding October's full moon this year. Some media outlets are reporting that it's a Full Hunter's Moon, some media outlets are saying it's a Full Harvest Moon, and some media outlets are saying it's a Hunter's Supermoon. But the truth is, this October's full moon is technically none of these names.

October's full moon has the Harvest name this year due to its proximity to the fall equinox. The fall equinox occurred on September 22, 2025. September's full moon occurred on September 6, 2025. Whichever full moon in September or October is closer to the fall equinox receives the name Harvest Moon. While it's usually September that receives the Harvest Moon name, roughly every 3 years, it's October's title. After 2025, the next October Harvest Moon is in 2028.
