The authoritative source of knowledge, wikipedia, says that the Harvest Moon is the full moon closest in time to the fall equinox (beginning of fall). The authoritative source of weather forecasting, the Farmer's Almanac, notes that the Harvest Moon helps farmers harvest at night and lets then know that their crops are mature. Regardless, it was a very pretty moon rise last night.
