"2023's Last Supermoon: A Guide to Witnessing the Full Harvest Moon"

The final supermoon of 2023, known as the harvest moon, will be visible on Thursday evening and reach peak illumination on Friday morning. The harvest moon is named for its association with the autumnal equinox and the end-of-summer harvests. This year's harvest moon is also referred to as the corn moon. Stargazers will have to wait until late summer 2024 for the next supermoon. The term "harvest moon" originated from the need for moonlight to aid farmers in harvesting their crops before rain caused them to rot.
