Harvest Moon Phenomenon and Celebrations in Various Countries, There is a Moon Cake Festival

Harvest Moon is known by different names in each country. America calls the Harvest Moon the Barley Moon. When this month appears coincides with ripe and harvested barley (barley). In addition, the name Fruit Moon is also intended for this month because fruits such as apples and grapes are starting to ripen.

For the Agonquin tribe living in North America, it is also called Corn Moon named after the staple crops of corn, pumpkin, beans, and wild rice that grow year-round.

Meanwhile, the Cherokees call it the Nut Moon because at that time there was a tradition of collecting nuts and making special bread to celebrate the harvest.

Some tribes call it the Big Moon. The rising full moon appears bigger and brighter, but it is a trick the horizon plays with our eyes. However, the moon can indeed approach Earth and become 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter. This event is known as Super Moon.

Phrase Super Moon created in 1979. It means the full moon or the new moon in its closest orbit to the earth (another term for the full moon perigee). We have experienced a Super Full Moon in April 2021 meaning we have to wait until June-July 2022 to see the super bright moon.
