Harvest Moon

Picture from: http://www.moontimerising.com/2011/09/the-harvest-moon/

Most of the northern and western US will be able to enjoy a cloud free evening to catch a glimpse of the Harvest Moon just after the sun has set.? The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. Due to its low angle in the sky this time of the year, the moon appears large and has an orange glow. This cycle of the moon got its name from Farmer?s who used the light from the moon to do their harvesting.

Enjoy the view!
