The maximum recorded full moon of the year is the maximum here, but do you know exactly when, where and how to get the view?
Traditionally called the “harvest moon,” the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox is so named because it helps farmers harvest late at night.
Today, it’s just a name that sounds iconic, yet the “Harvest Moon” is one of the few full moons that millions of other people will need to see with their own eyes as it looks on the eastern horizon wrapped in oranges and autumns. Yellow.
Here’s everything you want to know to have your own moment with “Harvest Moon”:
The next full moon will take position on Monday, September 20 at 11:55 p. m. Universal time, however, will seem complete in the night before and after its peak to the casual observer.
Of course, you can look at the Moon any day of the week and it will look big and bright, yet our satellite looks in its most productive form during the moon’s sunrise and sunset near the time when the Moon is in its “fullness”. phase.
These are the times to see the full September “Harvest Moon” in some key cities, but check the precise sunrise and sunset times for your location.
Monday gives the opportunity to see the full “Harvest Moon” rise in a twilight sky this month.
Tuesday provides a smart opportunity to see the entire “Harvest Moon” rise in a twilight sky.
The entire moon rises in the east at dusk (in front of a sunset or so) and sets in the west the next morning (in front of a sunrise).
So, look for a position with an unobstructed view towards the eastern horizon to see the Moon rise as the Sun sets. If you want to get up early on Monday, a transparent western horizon will be to watch the Moon set at dawn.
A pair of binoculars will also be useful for getting a close-up of the “Harvest Moon” as it rises into the sky, but they are not to enjoy the occasion : your own naked eyes are fine.
What you don’t want are dark skies, which make no difference in the spectacle of a moonwalk (the full moon is the biggest soft pollutant of all!).
The last full summer moon in the Northern Hemisphere, the “Harvest Moon,” will occur two days before the fall or autumnal equinox. This is because the entire moon that occurs closest to the equinox is called the “Harvest Moon. “
In the east, just after sunset, it will shine all night and then set in the west near the sun.
The complete moons of the years are:
If there is a full moon in 2021 that stands out, it is the “beaver moon” of November.
This is because while the Moon is full, it is more common to swallow it through Earth’s harsh shadow in space. Visible from North and South America, Northern Europe, East Asia, Australia and the Pacific, observers will see 97% of the Moon take on a reddish color in about 3 1/2 hours.
In fact, it’s a spectacle.
I wish you transparent skies and big eyes.
