Full Harvest Moon & Jupiter


I shot this photo outside the CBS6 studio at 4 a.m. Thursday of the Full Moon, nicknamed the "Harvest Moon" because it is the full moon nearest to the Autumnal Equinox (this was the first time in nearly 20 years that the Full Moon occurred on the same night of the Autumnal Equinox). To the lower left of the Moon, you can see a bright white light, and that's the planet Jupiter. You can still see the bright planet Jupiter near the Moon the rest of this month.
