Tonight, stargazers around the world will be treated to a rare and captivating sight: the Harvest Supermoon. This supermoon, also known as the "Full Corn Moon," will be the closest and brightest full moon of the year.
What is a Supermoon?
A supermoon occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit. During this time, the moon appears larger and brighter than usual, giving it a stunning appearance in the night sky.
The Harvest Supermoon is the third and final supermoon of 2023. The previous two supermoons were the Strawberry Supermoon in June and the Buck Supermoon in July.

The Harvest Supermoon will reach its peak illumination at 8:55 PM UTC on Tuesday, September 14th. However, it will appear full for several nights before and after this date.
The Harvest Supermoon will be visible from anywhere on Earth with clear skies. The best time to view the moon is after sunset, when it will be high in the eastern sky.
Folklore and Significance of the Harvest Supermoon
The Harvest Supermoon has been given its name by Native American tribes, who used the moon's position to mark the time for harvesting crops.
In many cultures, the Harvest Supermoon is associated with abundance, prosperity, and fertility. It is believed to be a time for reflection and gratitude for the harvest season.
