The moon rises with an orange glow as people watch from a rock cliff at Bondi Beach in Sydney. The supermoon, known to scientists as a perigee moon, occurs when Earth's neighbor appears at its largest and brightest compared with other full moons.
The Harvest Moon is happening this Monday, Sept 8.
This year's Harvest Moon happens tonight, Sept. 8 and it will also be the moment of our natural satellite's perigee, or the point at which the Moon is closest to Earth. This means it will light up the night sky even more than usual, and will appear bigger.
That bright moon now in the evening sky is waxing toward a Harvest Moon on the night of September 8-9. A super Harvest Moon!
