Observation time and place in 2022: During the sunset on September 10, a bright full moon rose from the east, glowed in the south at midnight, and fell in the west before sunrise.

On September 10th, the World Standard time was 9:59, and the peak of the full moon fell. It was 4:59 am on September 10th in the northern time of the United States. Before the sunrise, the moon fell to the west.

The east rises, the west falls

The full moon is always relative to the sun in the sky. Therefore, it is visible all night. All the full moon will rise from the east near the sunset. Similarly, all the full moon falls in the West when the sun is approaching. During the full moon, the sun, the earth, and the moon are aligned in the space, and the earth is in the middle. In addition, the moon's day -completely illuminated hemisphere -facing us, this is why the moon looks round.

Harvest

The full moon closest to the autumnal equinox is called a bumper monthly harvest, which may be the most well -known full moon in the year. This year, the spring equinox began at 1:04 on September 23, the Standard time of the World. It was 8:04 pm on September 22, 2022, Eastern United States. In this month, the moon increased an average of about 50 minutes per night during the process of running around the earth. But in mid -to -late September, for people in the central and northern regions such as the United States, this time will be shortened to 20 minutes. The higher the latitude, the shorter the time. This is due to the angle between the zodiac and the East Horizon. For observer in the northern hemisphere, when the autumnal equinox is approaching the sunset, it is the shallow in the northeast. Therefore, the moon is moving north every night. During the sunset, at the evening of the full moon, the convex moon glowed in the east, providing additional light at dusk. This makes people working outdoors, such as farmers who are harvested crops, have more time to complete work before dark. Therefore, we call it a bumper month.

In September, running to the full moon of Baobaoza, and two planets

Because the full moon is so bright, except for the brightest stars in the sky, all the stars are blocked by its light. This year, Jupiter shines in the full moon. The other is Saturn in Western Sky a little darker than Jupiter.

The harvest month usually runs to one of the two zodiac constellations. Most of the time, it is located in Pisces. But every few years, it runs to the treasure bottle, just like this year. In a few cases -every 20 years -it runs to the whale seat.

related information

The full moon is also called the moon, which refers to the moon phase when the moon is completely illuminated by the sun from the perspective of the earth. However, there will still be some dark areas without lunar eclipse. When the earth is located between the sun and the moon (the eclipse of the sun and the moon is 180 °), this happens [4]. This means that the front of the earth hemisphere facing the earth is completely illuminated by the sun and showed a disc. The full moon occurs about once a month.

From a full moon to the next full moon, the average interval of the duplicate reproduction of the same phase is about 29.53 days average, which is a Wantan Moon. Therefore, in the lunar calendar that starts from the new moon every month, the full moon usually falls on the 14th or 15th day of Shuangwangyue. Because a month of academy consists of a whole day, the length of the month in the lunar calendar may be 29 or 30 days.

During the full moon, the moon and the sun are on both sides of the earth. If it is opposite at this time, the lunar eclipse occurs. The Sunday exercise of the full moon is almost the same as the Sunday movement of the sun, the opposite of the spring and autumn, winter and summer. The day rose, and its height angle reached its maximum at midnight, sinking during sunrise. In the summer of the northern hemisphere, most parts of China can see that it rises from the southeast, and the low position crosses the night sky in the south. In winter, it is north, and the full moon in the south and the middle is in the higher position of the night sky. The spring equinox and autumn equinox rose from the east near the east, and it fell near Zhengxi.
