What is Hunter's moon?
There practically cannot be two suns existing in the sky, however, sometimes the sun's reflection can seem like the second moon. This usually happens if there are ice crystals present in the sky that act as a mirror.
Known as a sanguine or harvest moon, the term "hunter's moon" refers to a full moon that appears in October, closest to the autumnal equinox (which falls on the 22nd or 23rd of September).
As far as the Whatsapp forward goes, be wary of the "news" that circulate on the social media that present zero evidence or scientific backing.
