harvest moon


harvest moon
The full moon that appears closest in time to the autumnal equinox, in late September or early October in the Northern Hemisphere. For several nights the full moon rises at about the same time (around sunset), and may be bright enough for harvesting to continue into the night. In the Southern Hemisphere this occurs around the spring equinox.
