The full harvest moon — the first of fall in the Northern Hemisphere — will turn full on Monday, Oct. 6, but in North America it will be best seen at moonrise on Tuesday, Oct. 7. It’s called the harvest moon because it’s the closest full moon to the equinox on Sept. 22, and its light traditionally helps farmers work all night to gather crops. As well as coinciding with the peak of the Draconid meteor shower, October’s harvest moon will be the first of four “supermoons” in a row to round out 2025.
