Get those telescopes ready, skygazers. The 2016 hunter’s moon also happens to be a supermoon, making it extra special.

An autumn phenomenon, the hunter's moon is the full moon after the harvest moon. This year, the full moon is particularly close to the Earth's orbit, according to EarthSky. During this time, the moon may look larger and be brighter, with a yellow, orange or red hue.
