Full Harvest Supermoon

September’s full Moon reaches its moment of fullness at 9:34 p.m. It’s a “supermoon,” which means it is closer to Earth and can appear bigger and brighter than a typical full moon. It is also a “blood moon,” which means light passing through the earth’s atmosphere will make the Moon appear reddish.

There will also be a partial lunar eclipse peaking at 9:44 p.m. with the top 8 percent of the Moon in full shadow.

Quoth Farmers’ Almanac: “After months of soaking in life-giving rays from the Sun and rainwater from the clouds—combined with careful tending from gardeners and farmers—there are grains to be stored and fruits and vegetables to be canned. It’s a time to celebrate the bounty of summer while preparing for long, cold winter months when large swaths of land go dormant.”
