Real treat tonight. But, rain may block it. Not only will Northern America witness the beginning of autumn at 11:09 Eastern tonight, there will be a full moon in the sky. Put those two occurrences together and you'll get the rare "super harvest moon."
The event has not occurred for 20 years, and probably will not reoccur until 2029.
Tonight the nearly full moon will be rising just above the bright planet Jupiter and a somewhat dimmer Uranus.
Shine On Harvest Moon
By Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth (1903)
Shine on, shine on harvest moon
Up in the sky,
I ain’t had no lovin’
Since January, February, June or July
Snow time ain’t no time to stay
Outdoors and spoon,
So shine on, shine on harvest moon,
For me and my gal.
Neil Young, Let's go dancing in the night.
