Rare moon will appear on Friday the 13th

Harvest Moon is a full moon phenomenon on the day closest to the beginning of autumn, or the time of manure collection in the Southern Hemisphere.

According to the Farmers Almanac news site, this phenomenon appeared in the US on Friday 13/9 in the time zones of Central (North America), the mountains of North America and the Pacific.

People in the Eastern time zone (North America) may still see a glimpse of the moon, but after midnight, at 3:33 am on Saturday (local time).

The last time the harvest moon appeared in time zones was on June 13, 2014. Meanwhile, people in the Eastern time zone saw the moon on Friday the 13th and the rest of the area witnessed the phenomenon the day before.

The last time the full moon coincided with Friday the 13th was on October 13, 2000 and is not expected to appear again until August 13, 2049.

Although the upcoming moon will be full, the size is actually quite small. On September 13, the moon will coincide with the furthest point from the Earth and appear less than 14%.

The harvest moon is named after the event when the moon appears, and farmers will harvest the summer crop during the evening thanks to the moonlight shining.
