A 13-year-old- pupil of mine, time ago: <<How many different types of #fullmoon are there?>>

Me: <<The #Moon itself does not change colors or sizes. Its changes in "appearance" are usually due to its position in relation to the #Sun and #Earth>>

Me: <<So there are a few different "types" of #fullmoon, which include: Blood moons, #Supermoons, Blue moons, Harvest moons, and others>>

For example, this in the pic is a ' #HarvestMoon' rising over the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, as seen from #Pasadena, Calif., in September 2016.

The term "harvest moon" refers to the full moon nearest the start of Fall, or the autumnal #equinox.

The name dates from the time before electricity, when farmers depended on the #Moon's light to harvest their crops late into the night.
