@transitsignals: The full moon on September 26 has a name: the Harvest Moon. It's the full moon that falls closest to the autumn equinox, and it behaves a little differently from every other full moon of the year. Around this time, the moon rises only a short while after sunset for several nights in a row — instead of the usual longer gap. The effect is a run of evenings where, just as the sun sets, a huge golden moon climbs the horizon, flooding the landscape with light. For centuries, before electric light, farmers relied on exactly this to keep harvesting their crops long after dark. That's how it earned its name. It also often looks enormous and orange as it rises — not because it's closer, but because of an optical trick your brain plays when the moon sits low near objects on the horizon, plus the warm colour the thick atmosphere lends it near the ground. No equipment needed. Step outside near sunset over the next few evenings and look east. You'll catch a huge golden moon lifting off the horizon — the same light that once brought the harvest home. #harvestmoon #fseptemberullmoon #Astronomy #mooninaries #transitsignals
