The Harvest supermoon, rising on September 17, will be 14 percent larger and will experience a partial lunar eclipse, giving it a blood red hue.
A supermoon occurs when the moon is at its closest distance to Earth, making it appear 30 percent brighter and more massive than usual.
The term 'supermoon' defines a full moon within 90 percent of perigee, highlighting its significance during autumn for early American agricultural practices.
Next week’s Harvest moon will not only illuminate the night sky but also remind us of our historical reliance on moonlight for harvesting crops.
