The Sky This Week from September 13 to 22 The Harvest Moon coincides with Friday the 13th this year, but the nearly Full Moon will dominate the evening sky for the next several days. Friday, September 13 Full Moon arrives at 12:33 a.m. EDT tomorrow morning (9:33 p.m. PDT this evening), so our satellite looks completely illuminated all night. Luna rises in the east shortly after the Sunsets and peaks in the south around 1 a.m. local daylight time. The Moon lies among the dim background stars of eastern Aquarius, due south of the Great Square of Pegasus. As the Full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox, this is also the Harvest Moon. In early autumn, the Full Moon rises about half an hour later each night compared with a normal lag close to 50 minutes. The added early evening illumination supposedly helps farmers bringing in their crops. The Moon also reaches apogee, the farthest point in its orbit around Earth, today. At 9:32 a.m. EDT, it lies 252,511 miles (406,377 kilometers) from Earth’s center. - Study24x7
