Harvest Moon 2019 viewing can take place tonight thanks to the upcoming full moon.
Here’s what to know about the Harvest Moon 2019.
- Starting off, don’t go into this expecting a big full moon to look at.
- The Harvest Moon changes from year to year and this one’s is a actually a Mini Moon.
- What that means is that it is the smallest full moon of the year.
- This is possible due to the moon not having a perfectly circular orbit around the earth.
- It can also result in incredibly large Harvest Moons, also called a Super Moon, like in 2015.
- Sky watchers that want to get their best look at the Harvest Moon 2019 will want to keep Sept. 14 at 12:33 a.m. in mind.
- This is when the Harvest Moon will be the most full and, weather permitting, give the best look at the moon.
- What this also means is that the best time to look at the Harvest Moon for those outside of the Eastern Time zone is actually on Sept. 13.
- Either way, moon watchers will be looking at the moon tonight.
