The Full Moon rises majestically in the east at around 5:50pm on Friday, October 22, some 15 minutes before the time of sunset. If the skies are clear, this is a perfect time to take a late afternoon walk and enjoy some of the last "Indian summer" weather we're likely to experience before winter's slight chill sets in. Just make sure you have an open vista toward the eastern sky in order to see the moon. Some folk names for October full moons include "blood moon," "shedding moon," "falling-leaf moon," and "moon of the changing season."
