September 29th (Friday) is “Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon”

September 29th (Friday) is the “Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon.” The custom of celebrating the harvest moon is said to have been 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” is a full moon. The moment of full moon is 18:58, which means that the moon that rises at night is exactly the full moon. The date of the full moon will coincide for three consecutive years in 2021, 2022, and 2023, but the next time the harvest moon and full moon will coincide will be on September 12, 2030, which will be 7 years later. Masu.

Many people think of a full moon when they hear the term “Harvest Moon,” but it doesn’t always fall on a full moon every year. This is because 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. This is because the moon’s orbit is elliptical, and the number of days it takes from a new moon to a full moon varies from 13.9 to 15.6 days.

Wide opportunity to view the moon

Tonight (the 29th), Hokkaido, Tohoku, and Hokuriku will be mostly clear, and many places will be able to see the Harvest Moon.

Clouds tend to spread out in Okinawa as well, but there are likely places where you can see them from between the clouds.
