September's Harvest Moon Peaks This Weekend with Extended Evening Glow
The Harvest Moon, September's full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, will peak on September 26. It rises early in the evening, appearing larger and often with a reddish or orange hue due to atmospheric effects. Unlike typical moons, its rise time changes little over several days, providing extended bright moonlight traditionally aiding harvest activities. The best viewing times vary by region, with sunset offering optimal views in the Western Hemisphere and nighttime in India. Saturn may also be visible near the moon during this period.
