Long before electricity was around, farmers
needed to extend their workdays by gathering their crops by moonlight. It was
the only way they could find the extra hours needed to harvest
in time for market. This explains why the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox became
known as the “Harvest Moon”. So, grab you camera and check out the spectacular Harvest Moon
tonight as it rises just after sunset. Because Washington, DC is in the northern hemisphere, the autumnal
equinox lands on September 22 this year. In a few days we can say a big goodbye to summer!
It is our pleasure to provide this information. If you are traveling to the Washington DC area and require Washington DC corporate housing or are in need of military housing Washington DC please consider Stay Attache.
