2023 September 30 - A Harvest Moon over Tuscany
Channel: APOD Podcast
Date: 2023-09-30

In today's image, we see the Harvest Moon which is the full moon that occurs closest to the time of the autumnal equinox. The light of the Harvest Moon would have assisted farmers with their harvest in the past as it brightened the night sky, giving more light to work by.
