Mid-Autumn Moon 中秋月 Super Harvest Moon / SML.20240918.R8.09262.E1.SQ
The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節) is a significant cultural celebration in Chinese culture. It occurs on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, typically falling in September or October.
The festival coincides with the autumn harvest season, making the full moon a symbol of abundance and gratitude for nature’s blessings.
In the west, this moon is also known as the Super Harvest Moon, when the moon is at its closest point to Earth, making it appear larger and brighter than usual — about 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon.
