If the skies are clear this weekend, you might be treated to the spectacular sight of an impressive full moon.The full Hunter's Moon will rise Sunday just after sunset, and while it's near the horizon, it will likely appear much bigger than usual. The effect is known as the moon illusion, which makes it appear larger near the horizon than it does when it's high in the sky.Full moons near the horizon also often appear red, orange or yellow because you're looking through more of the atmosphere when it's that low. As it rises, the moon will take on its characteristic silvery white color.Because this time of year is close to the equinox, the moon will rise at sunset and set close to sunrise, so moon watchers can see it track across the sky all night. The term "Hunter's Moon" is the name given to the first full moon after the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon closet to the autumn equinox.Any clear nights in the days leading up to the full moon will be the perfect time to check out the first meteor showers of the fall. The Draconid meteor shower is active through Thursday night, while the Southern Taurids can be seen through Friday and into the weekend.The Draconids typically don't produce many meteors, but unlike many meteor showers, the best time for viewing them is early in the evening. Later each night, the Southern Taurids could put on a display. The bright moon will wash out fainter meteors, but the Southern Taurids tend to produce a few bright fireballs, meteors that are far brighter than typical shooting stars.If the skies stay cloudy this week, don't worry. Later in the month, you might be able to watch the Orionid meteor shower, which peaks on the morning of Oct. 22. These fast, faint meteors are caused by the debris of Halley's Comet, and the shower typically produces 10 to 20 meteors per hour.
