Harvest moon 2022: How to see September’s full moon
This lunar event is called the harvest moon because it is close to the fall equinox, a time when farmers often harvest their crops, NASA said.
When the moon begins its ascent into the sky, it may look a burnt orange hue. This is because there is a thicker layer of the Earth’s atmosphere along the horizon compared with directly above our heads, according to EarthSky.
That atmosphere acts as a filter, transforming the moon into the eerie color when it first emerges above the horizon.
The harvest moon may also appear larger in the sky compared with other full moons, but your eyes are playing a trick on you.
