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>>

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.
