IN THE AUTUMN FARMERS FARM BY MOONLIGHT. THE HARVEST MOON OCCURS NEAR THE MOON'S FULLNESS IN THE AUTUMN MONTHS, AROUND THE TIME OF THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX. HARVEST MOONS ARE OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR HUNTER'S MOONS, HOWEVER THE HUNTER'S MOON IS THE FIRST FULL MOON AFTER THE HARVEST MOON. HARVEST MOONS ARE WARM BECAUSE OF HOW SOON THE MOON RISES AFTER THE SUN SETS AND THE AMOUNT OF ATMOSPHERIC PARTICALS ON THE HORIZON THAT TURN WHITE LIGHT INTO ORANGE. THIS LAST SEPTEMBER, WE HAD THREE HARVEST MOON NIGHTS, HOWEVER IT IS OFTEN ONLY ONE, OR MAYBE TWO, A YEAR. EVEN THOUGH SCIENCE EXPLAINS THE LARGENESS OF A RISING FULL-MOON AS MOON ILLUSION, I'M POSITIVE HARVEST MOONS REALLY ARE CLOSER. AND WATCHING A HARVEST MOON RISE OVER A LAKE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IN THE WORLD.
