Stargazers in Devon and Cornwall have been enjoying October's full Moon, known as the Hunter's Moon. Supermoons happen when the Moon is closest to the Earth, appearing bigger and brighter than normal - up to 15% brighter and 30% bigger than regular full Moons.

Get ready to look up for the year’s biggest and brightest supermoon. And it's pairing up with a comet for a rare stargazing two-for-one.

October's supermoon, known as the "Hunter's Moon," will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. Why it matters: The third of this year's four consecutive supermoons arrives during an active month of skywatching between rare northern lights sightings and the once-in-a-lifetime comet.

The brightest moon of the year will be visible Wednesday night and reach its apex Thursday – for all those willing to stir before dawn to get a look.
