Description
The Harvest Moon is the full Moon nearest the start of Fall or the Autumnal equinox. It is usually in September and only rarely in October.
The Harvest Moon is not like the other Moons. Usually, throughout the year, the Moon rises and average of abut 50 minutes later each day, but near the autumnal equinox, the difference is only 30 minutes.
The full Harvest Moon rises at sunset and then will rise near sunset for several nights in a row because the difference is at a yearly minimum. It almost seems like there are full Moons several nights in a row.
The abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening was a traditional aide toharvest crews, hence the "Harvest" Moon.
