A majestic Harvest Supermoon graced the night sky on Oct. 6-7, putting on a spectacular show as it loomed large and bright over the eastern horizon at moonrise with Saturn close to its right among the stars of the constellation Pisces.
The closest full moon to the autumn equinox is known as the Harvest Moon — when, prior to the advent of artificial lighting, farmers would work under the reflected light of the full moon to bring in crops from the fields before the weather turned. The 2025 Harvest Moon happened to fall in October and occurred just as the moon was reaching its lowest point in its cyclical 27-day orbit of Earth, giving rise to a spectacular supermoon.
