“Equinox and the Harvest Moon” is copyrighted by Tamás Ábrahám. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Harvest Moon, the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, lights up the night sky, helping with late harvests. This year, the full phase of the Moon occurred just six hours after the equinox on September 23rd. The Moon still shines brightly through the night, illuminating fields and landscapes. This celestial alignment marks the transition into autumn in the northern hemisphere.
