When it's not a harvest moon, the October full moon — and, this year, the Halloween blue moon — is known as a hunter's moon because the moonlight helped hunters preparing for winter to see deer and other game animals in recently cleared fields.

It is sometimes referred to as the sanguine or blood moon, perhaps because of the blood associated with hunting, the Old Farmer's Almanac says, but also possibly because it is associated with the brilliant colors of fall foliage.

Some other names for non-harvest October full moons are the "travel moon" or the "dying grass moon. The Halloween blue moon will interfere with watching for shooting stars from the long-running Taurid meteor shower.

It runs annually from Sept 7 to Dec. This shower isn't particularly prolific, producing about five to 10 meteors an hour at the peak. What makes the Taurids unusual is that the meteors come from separate debris streams — dust grains left behind Asteroid TG10 and debris from Comet 2P Encke. A first-quarter moon at the shower's peak may block out all but the brightest meteors.

After midnight is the best time to look for meteors, which radiate from the constellation Taurus but can be seen anywhere in the sky. Kara Seymour , Patch Staff.
