[MIham] A Special Full Moon

[FSK]

Space Weather News for Sept. 26, 2007

HARVEST MOON: There's a full Moon tonight (Wed., Sept. 26) and it has a
special name--the "Harvest Moon," the full Moon closest to the autumnal
equinox. In the days before electric lights, farmers relied on moonlight to
help them gather ripening autumn crops. The bright Harvest Moon allowed
their work to continue late into the night. Now, post-Edison, we appreciate
the Harvest Moon more for its beauty than its utility.  Moonrise happens
tonight at sunset; look east and enjoy the view!

AURORA WATCH:  Northern fall has begun with a vibrant flourish of
green--that is, green Northern Lights.  A solar wind stream hit Earth on
Sept. 21st sparking an intense, three-day display of polar auroras. Get
ready for more: Another solar wind stream is due on Sept. 27th or 28th.
