Another night, another moon — but the one Friday night promises to be especially worth the effort it takes to crane your neck.
Friday night's full moon is 2016’s harvest moon. The harvest moon is the full moon to fall closest to the autumnal equinox, which is on Sept. 22 this year.
According to the Weather Channel, the harvest moon usually coincides with crop harvesting in the Northern Hemisphere and allows farmer to work late into the night.
In some places around the world, although not North or South America, moongazers will get the added bonus of a lunar eclipse.
If you’re planning on looking up Friday, check to see that the weather is in your favor with little to no cloud coverage.
