🌕 Look up tonight! The Harvest Moon is rising and illuminating our skies as the closest full moon to the equinox.

Catch it low on the eastern horizon just after sunset. It may look exceptionally large and give off a golden-orange hue. This is due to the famous "moon illusion" combined with Earth's atmosphere scattering away shorter wavelengths of blue light! ✨
