The Harvest Moon

(this is a post from Larry)



For me and many, that's the signal that FALL is just about here.
For those of you who noticed the Harvest Moon last week, you might have thought it looked BIGGER than normal...especially when it was on the horizon. That's because of the tilt of our planet and is actually an illusion. IF you had covered the full moon with a quarter held at arm's length after it cleared the horizon and then used the same quarter to cover it when it was high in the sky, you'd have noticed that it was no difference in size. Our eyes play tricks on us.

IF you missed the Harvest full moon, it will do the same thing again next month when it's called the HUNTER'S MOON.

On Monday night/Tuesday morning we bid adieu to summer and greet Autumn.
