1. It's the 'Blood Moon'.... It is Halloween week and the waning full moon
http://www.kpcnews.com/articles/2007/10/27/features/columnists/lou_ann_homan-saylor/doc4723440193b36539401121.txt">The full moon is waning, just in time for Halloween

It is Halloween week and the waning full moon illuminates my early morning walk.
This magnificent moon represents the Hunter’s Moon, or in earlier times, the Blood Moon.
Its name is just what it suggests, more light for hunters to find their prey.

It used to be a grand celebration in Western Europe, called The Feast of the Hunter’s Moon.
That tradition died out in the 1700s but has been revived in Lafayette for its festival of
the same name. more........

-------------------

The October full moon was on the 25th this year.

How often does a full moon occur on Halloween?

Even though Halloween landscapes typically depict ghosts, goblins and bats cavorting under
the eerie light of a bright full moon, the actual occurrence of a full moon on Halloween
is a rather rare event. The last one was six years ago in 2001, and the one before tha
took place back in 1955. Looking ahead, we will have to wait 13 years until the next
Halloween full moon in 2020. Beyond that there will be four more this century in 2039,
2058, 2077 and 2096. By nature of the 29.5-day lunar cycle, the Halloween full moon will
always be October's second. The month's first is the Harvest Moon since it occurs closest
to the autumnal equinox, so the one on Halloween is always the Hunters' Moon.

----------------------

It is Full Moon week, and it is now waning but still looks full. ;)
