Sunday, October 9 is Full Moon. First full Moon of autumn, called Hunter's Moon or Blood Moon.
The full Moon will appear opposite the Sun about 4.55pm EDT on Sunday, albeit this will be Monday morning for individuals in the Gulf Standard or Iran time zones up to the International Date Line.
This full Moon won't be a "super moon," a non-scientific phrase for full Moons that occur when the Moon is closest to Earth, but it has intriguing titles in various cultures.
According to a Nasa blog, Algonquin Native Americans termed this full Moon the Travel Moon, Hunter's Moon, or Blood Moon.
