WASHINGTON D.C., DC — A supermoon will light up the sky, a meteor shower will peak through it and another sparkling meteor shower is on deck for October .

The full moon may interfere with viewing one of two meteor showers this month, but here's everything you need to know about each celestial light show.

Here's a rundown of what October holds:

October's full moon, also called the Hunter’s Moon or the Harvest Moon due to the timing of the autumnal equinox this year, will also be a supermoon.

It will be full Monday, Oct. 6 around 11:48 p.m. EST.

A supermoon is the popularized, common term for when the moon is in "perigee." This means the moon's orbit is at the nearest point to the Earth.

The supermoon can appear up to 30% brighter and 14% larger than a typical moon, according to NASA .
