Explanation:
A Full Moon rising
can be a dramatic celestial
sight, and
Full Moons can have many names.
For example, Monday's Full Moon was the one nearest this year's
autumnal equinox
for the northern hemisphere, traditionally
called the Harvest Moon.
According
to lore the name is a fitting one because farmers
could work late into the night at the end of the growing season
harvesting crops
by moonlight.
This serene telephoto image captures this
September's harvest moonrise
from Turin, Italy.
In silhouette against an orange lunar disk is Turin's hilltop
Basilica of Superga.
