Explanation: For northern hemisphere dwellers, September’s Full Moon was the Harvest Moon. Reflecting warm hues at sunset, it rises behind cypress trees huddled on a hill top in Tuscany, Italy in this telephoto view from September 28. Famed in festival, story, and song, Harvest Moon is just the traditional name of the full moon nearest the autumnal equinox. According to lore the name is a fitting one. Despite the diminishing daylight hours as the growing season drew to a close, farmers could harvest crops by the light of a full moon shining on from dusk to dawn. This Harvest Moon was also known to some as a supermoon, a term becoming a traditional name for a full moon near perigee. It was the fourth and final supermoon for 2023.

说明: 对于北半球的住民来说，9月的满月是丰收的获月。在这幅摄于9月28日的望远镜头影像里，满月于日落时，带着温暖的色调从义大利．托斯卡尼一座山顶的柏树丛后方升起。以节日、故事和歌曲而著称的获月，是最接近秋分的满月之传统名称，而它显然是这轮满月很贴切的称号。因为随着生长季节接近尾端，白昼渐短，但农民仍然可以在黄昏到黎明彻夜普照的月光下收割庄稼。上面这轮获月亦有超级月亮之称，因为它是出现在近地点附近的满月，也是2023年的第四个及最后一个超级月亮。
