An early Harvest Moon rises Saturday. Here's what to expect for September's full moon.

You don't want to miss the moon this weekend.

The full moon of Saturday (Sept. 10) also carries the title of the Harvest Moon for those living in the Northern Hemisphere. The moon officially turns full when it reaches that spot in the sky opposite (180º) to the sun in the sky. This moment will occur on Saturday at 5:59 a.m. Eastern Time (0959 GMT).

Saturday's full moon is the one that comes the closest to the September equinox, so this year it falls in September, although on occasion this title can be bestowed upon the October full moon. The 2022 version of the Harvest Moon comes unusually early, although it can occur as early as Sept. 8 (as in 2014) or as late as Oct. 7 (as in 1987).

4. I have been going outside at night to catch a glimpse of Jupiter the last few weeks.

It's shining so big and bright right after dark.

3. Thanks for the heads-up. Unfortunately, we're socked in.

Hope everyone with clear skies has a chance to see it!
