Full orange moon on Hallowe'en a rare treat

VANCOUVER (myBC.com) — Trick-or-treaters will be treated to a rare full moon on Hallowe'en night this year – for the first time in 46 years.

The next full moon on Hallowe'en won't occur until 2020. If the sky is clear, we should see the full orange harvest moon rise over the eastern horizon like a big jack-o'-lantern at 5:48 p.m.

This rare full moon is also known as a "blue moon," because it is the second full moon in a month.

The constellation of the Seven Sisters, or the Pleaides, will also be overhead. According to legends, the fading cluster of seven stars signals the coming of the season to honour the dead.
