Third Consecutive “Supermoon” In Night Sky

September 9, 2014

The final “supermoon” of the summer graced the skies last night, with the full moon completing a celestial triple play of consecutive supermoons over the past three months.

The moon reached its full phase when it reached the spot in the sky opposite from the sun, which occurred on Monday at 10:38pm Bermuda time, Space.com reports.

The full moon closest to the September equinox is given the Harvest Moon title, and as many years ago the light of the Harvest Moon helped farmers to gather their crops at night, he name ‘Harvest Moon’ probably originated from that, according to EarthSky.
