October is the first full month of fall, bringing cooler temperatures, Halloween and some exciting skywatching events that you don't want to miss.

The month is filled with a Supermoon and two meteor showers worth looking out for.

Full Harvest Supermoon

October kicks off with the Super Full Harvest Moon on Oct. 6.

The Supermoon will rise in the east just after sunset, according to EarthSky.org .

It's called a Supermoon because the moon is close to Earth, making it appear a little larger than usual.

The Harvest Moon is the moon closest to the autumn equinox, EarthSky reported. So, while September's full moon occurred earlier in the month on Sept. 7, the October full moon is closer to the equinox, which occurred on Sept. 22.
