Aussie stargazers were in for a real treat last night, as our sky lit up with the brightest supermoon of the entire year. Peaking on the night of Thursday, October 17, the Hunter’s Moon was the third of four consecutive supermoons in 2024 – and wow, did it put on a show. 

If you missed out on seeing the celestial spectacle, you’re in luck. The moon will also appear full on the night of Friday, October 18. And since it’s not a school night, there’s no excuse to miss it. You’ll also want to mark your calendar for the final supermoon of the year, the Beaver Moon, which will light up the skies on Friday, November 15. 

In the meantime, check out these stunning shots of the Hunter’s Supermoon by Sydney-based Canon photographer, Satoko Clarke.
