\"don't<\/span> <\/span>T<\/em><\/strong>onight’s full moon is the Harvest Moon<\/a> <\/em>(arriving at 10:01 PM, <\/span>EDT). According <\/span>to NASA:<\/span><\/p>\n

The Harvest Moon is no ordinary full moon; it behaves in a <\/span>special way. Throughout the year the Moon rises, on average,<\/span> about 50 minutes later each day. But near the autumnal equinox,<\/span> which comes this year on Sept. 22nd, the day-to-day difference<\/span> in the local time of moonrise is only 30 minutes. The Moon will rise around sunset tonight — not long after sunset the next few evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

That comes in handy for northern farmers who are working long days<\/span> to harvest their crops before autumn. The extra dose of lighting afforded<\/span> by the full Moon closest to the equinox is what gives the Harvest Moon<\/span> its name.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Harvest Moon lasts <\/span>for <\/span>three nights. Unless our local cloud cover breaks, I<\/span><\/span> may <\/span><\/span>have <\/span>to postpone my moon-gazing until tomorrow.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" This time last year, we had two days<\/span><\/a><\/span> of <\/span>Harvest Moon haiku<\/span><\/a>, each dedicated <\/span><\/span><\/span>to <\/span><\/span>one of our weblawging colleagues, whose names are listed below. Master Issa<\/a><\/span><\/span> provided the haiku last year. <\/span><\/span>This year, f\/k\/a<\/em> would like to welcome a few more <\/span>webloggers to the celebration, <\/span>using harvest moon haiku and senryu by our Honored<\/span><\/span> Guests and our <\/span>dagosan<\/em><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
