APOD’s September 30, 2023, entry, “A Harvest Moon Over Tuscany,” showcases the Full Moon rising behind cypress trees in Tuscany, Italy. The image, taken on September 28, captures the warm hues of the Harvest Moon, traditionally the Full Moon nearest the autumnal equinox. This photograph reflects the cultural significance of the Harvest Moon, which historically allowed farmers to work late into the night by its light.
