A passenger aircraft, with the full "Harvest
Moon" seen behind, makes its final approach to landing at Heathrow Airport
in west London, September 19, 2013. The Harvest Moon is a traditional name for
the full moon that is closest to the autumn equinox, and at a traditional
period where farmers would be harvesting crops. The moon's rise time and angle
of path give the illusion that the Harvest Moon is both closer, larger and
brighter; though actually it is not.
