A full Hunter's Moon to light sky Sunday
Matt Cardy/Getty Images(CNN) - Moon enthusiasts, get ready -- because the next full moon will appear Sunday. The full moon, known as the Hunter's Moon, always follows September's Harvest Moon. According to the Farmer's Almanac, the Hunter's Moon gets its name from the Native Americans. With the full moon, it was easier to see deer and other animals and successfully hunt in the darkness. The moon will appear full for three days, from Saturday morning to Tuesday morning, according to NASA.

Even more than the pumpkin spice latte, the harvest moon officially marks the beginning of fall. What's a harvest moon? A harvest moon is a full moon that usually occurs around the autumnal equinox (Sept. 23, the first day of fall!) A harvest moon rises about 25 minutes after the sun sets in most of the northern U.S., NASA said, 25 minutes earlier than a typical moon. The full harvest moon will rise just after sunset, though.
