Why was last nights full moon special?
At this time of year it’s called a “Harvest Moon,” so named because, before they had mechanized farming equipment, farmers and laborers could stay out longer to harvest the food, before another frost. The moon is very bright this time of year. Not that it’s any less dim other parts of the year, like on a cold January night when it’s almost too bright to look at and it casts shadows. But, this is just a time of year when the moon was used to increase productivity. Edit: Depends on what side of the globe you’re on. In America our dating system is Month / Day / Year. Our time is also a.m and p.m. as opposed to the 24 hour time other countries have. So instead of 21:58 hours, it’s 8:58 p.m.
