The final supermoon of 2023 will rise later this week when the Harvest Moon one of the most famous full moons of all ascends into the autumn skies. From New York City, the officially full moon will be visible just before it sets at 6:29 a.m. Bottom line: The Harvest Full Moon and last of four full supermoons in 2023 happens overnight on September 28-29, 2023, for us in the Americas. We were playing the outdoor venue in Detroit, Michigan, he told Songfacts. If the earth's axis were perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, and if the earth and moon revolved in circular orbits at uniform velocities around their respective centers of motion in that plane, the retardation would obviously be constant. Their guitarist, Steve Cropper, recalled one night in particular on the tour. ![]() Variations in the retardation of the moon's rising (a retardation which averages about 51 minutes daily) are due to complex conditions. Following out this law of retardation, it is a matter of course to look for a yet earlier rising of the “harvest moon” in the far north of the Scandinavian peninsula and an extremely opposite condition in the corresponding latitudes of the Southern hemisphere, where the “harvest moon” (if it were possible to use the term in this region) would occur about the time of the vernal instead of the autumnal equinox. As conditions in England are especially favorable, full moon-rise at harvest time therefore occurs earlier than in the lower latitudes of this country. The sky over Earth on Friday, Sept.29, when the Harvest full moon is joined by the planet Mercury, and the gas giants Saturn and Jupiter (Image credit: Chris Vaughan/Starry Night). This phenomenon of early moon-rise is dependent upon the degree of retardation of the moon's rising, as affected by difference in latitude. THE term “harvest moon,” originating in England, where the brilliant moon-light of several consecutive evenings aided the harvesting of crops, is the popular expression for the moon at its full in the month of September in northern latitudes. ![]()
