HUNTER'S MOON
According to folklore, this week's full Moon is the Hunter's Moon. It gets its name from Native American hunters who once tracked and killed their prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the winter ahead. Last night, photographer Aaron Top caught the Hunter's Moon beaming through trees around Owen Sound, Ontario,
"The water was so calm that I saw a perfectly-cast moon reflection," says Top. "It was a beautiful sight." The view gets even better tonight as the Moon approaches Jupiter for a close encounter. On Oct. 12th and 13th it will be possible to hide the lunar disk and the bright planet together behind the palm of your outstretched hand. The conjunction is visible throughout the night; just look for the Moon and you will find Jupiter not far away.
Enjoy it guys.
