The 2021 Harvest Moon will rise on Monday, September 20th, however,
it will appear full from Sunday morning through Tuesday morning.
Furthermore, the Old Farmer's Almanac says that unlike other full moons,
this one is not associated with a specific month. The Harvest Moon
is determined in association with the autumnal equinox.
This year, the equinox will occur on Wednesday, September 22nd,
the official first day of the fall season in the western hemisphere.
The full moon nearest to this time will be called
the full Harvest Moon. However, the Harvest Moon
could happen in either September or in October,
depending on how the lunar cycles line up
with the Gregorian calendar.
