The September full Moon, known as the Harvest Moon, will be visible near Saturn in the sky from September 24 to 28, 2026. This full Moon is the closest to the autumn equinox, hence its name. The Harvest Moon gets its name from the shorter-than-usual lag time between moonrises, allowing farmers to continue working late into the night. The moon's proximity to Saturn is due to Saturn's opposition occurring on October 4, 2026. The Harvest Moon can appear larger, brighter, or more orange due to the moon illusion effect.
