Harvest Moon, full Moon at harvest time in the North Temperate Zone, or more exactly, the full Moon occurring closest to the autumnal equinox on about September 23. During this season the Moon rises at a point opposite to the sun, or close to the exact eastern point of the horizon. Moreover, the Moon rises only a few minutes later each night, affording on several successive evenings an attractive moonrise close to sunset time and strong moonlight almost all night if the sky is not clouded. The continuance of the moonlight after sunset is useful to farmers in northern latitudes, who are then harvesting their crops. The full Moon following the Harvest Moon, which exhibits the same phenomena in a lesser degree, is called the Hunter's Moon. A similar phenomenon to the Harvest Moon is observed in southern latitudes at the spring equinox on about March 21.
