Got home last night, looked straight east about 8pm and the moon was spectacular - large and crisp and faint yellow. Was very low in the eastern horizon then and steadily rose. Going to take a photo, but didn't.
Checked online this morning, and it was a Harvest Moon. Att is a pic from Ft Lauderdale ... same moon that was in our sky here...
Full moon falls on September 24, 2018 for us in the Americas, and on September 25 for much of the rest of the world. It’s the first full moon of autumn for the Northern Hemisphere and first full moon of spring for the Southern Hemisphere. It’s the closest full moon to the September equinox. That makes it the Northern Hemisphere’s Harvest Moon!
No matter where you live worldwide, the moon will appear plenty full to you on both September 24 and 25, lighting up the night from dusk until dawn.
