Moon-set on Pre-Harvest Moon
With the dogs restless at about 5:40 a.m., I pulled on my sweats and leashed them up for an early morning 'p & p' run. A month ago, I would be in daylight, but it was still dark Monday morning. As I patiently (and half asleep) waited for them to finish up, I noticed the setting moon - very full, very round, very yellow, very pretty....
I bet you didn't know this! According to the article.....
So the Harvest Moon, as this moon is called, rose in the East and set in the West. I wonder, with the lunar eclipse next month, where the moon will rise.
And it was setting behind the hills across from the apartment. Actually, when I first saw it, the moon was still up. It took me and the dogs a bit to get inside and grab the camera and get onto the balcony without waking Lady K.
Then I started writing this post and wanted to know a little about what this moon was called, and came across this article. I was just going to link it, but then in reading the article I had to start laughing.
I bet you didn't know this! According to the article.....
"Any full moon, but especially supermoons, look their biggest when they rise. The moon always rises in the east."
