Tomorrow, the 29th, is the “Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon”
The day following tomorrow, the 29th, is the “Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon.”
I’m sure some of you are planning moon viewing events.
The Harvest Moon is the moon that appears on the night of August 15 in the lunisolar calendar, and it is said that the custom of celebrating the Harvest Moon was introduced from China during the Heian period. In Japan, the Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon is associated with agricultural events, and is sometimes called the “Imo Harvest Moon.”
This year’s “Harvest Moon” falls on the same day as the full moon for the third consecutive year, but the dates of the “Harvest Moon” and full moon often deviate from each other.
The reason for this is that the Harvest Moon is determined by the date of the lunisolar calendar (the number of days since the new moon), but the full moon is determined by the positional relationship of the sun, earth, and moon.
Another factor related to this is that the moon’s orbit is elliptical, and the number of days it takes from the new moon to the full moon varies from 13.9 days to 15.6 days.
The next time the Harvest Moon will coincide with a full moon will be on September 12, 2030, seven years later.
Where can you see the moon on the night of the 29th?
The weather on the night of the 29th, which will be the “Harvest Moon”, is expected to be clear across a wide area of Hokkaido and Tohoku, and clear skies along the Sea of Japan from Hokuriku to northern Kyushu. In this area, there is a high possibility of seeing the “Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon”.
Thin clouds will spread from southern Kyushu to the Tokai region, but there will be a chance to see it through the gaps in the clouds. There are a lot of clouds in the Kanto region, and there are times when there are thick clouds at night, but there is still a chance of seeing it.
Please note that this forecast is as of Wednesday the 27th. Please check the latest weather forecast as it may still change.
Enjoy the long autumn nights as the moon approaches the harvest moon
Although the lingering heat during the day is severe, the mornings and evenings are more comfortable than before, making it the season to enjoy the long autumn nights.
As we approach the Harvest Moon, some people may be enjoying the moon as it approaches fullness day by day.
On the 25th and 26th, a “moonlight ring” was seen, which was a shining round ring surrounding the moon. It can be seen by the moon’s light when there is thin cloud near the moon.
Why not enjoy the moon as it approaches the Harvest Moon tonight?
