Harvest Moon

Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds

The harvest moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in late September or early October. Typically, the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day, but the same doesn't go for harvest moons. The rising harvest moon appears in the night sky about 25 minutes later than the previous night's moon, a much shorter time between moon rises.
