      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.
