Harvest Moon

Just after sunset on September 28–30, grab your plaid wool blanket and thermos of Pumpkin Spice Latte and head outside. It's the time of year for one of our favorite early fall activities: gazing upon the full Harvest Moon. And not to worry—no harvesting is required to spot this large, bright, moon.
here's what you need to know about this lunar event.
Harvest Moon: why is it called that?
For several evenings, the moon rises immediately after the sun sets. This leads to abundant moonlight in the early evening, which in the past, before the invention of electricity, traditionally helped farmers and crews to harvest their summer crops under the light of a large, bright, moon. Hence, it is called the "Harvest Moon"!
The Harvest Moon may also be called a Corn Moon, Barley Moon, or Wine Moon, or the Singing Moon or Elk Call Moon (we can get behind this name!). Some of these names tell us what crops were harvested with the help of this bright moon in days of old.
We can thank the moon's orbital position in relation to Earth this time of year for the qualities of the "Harvest Moon".
