Sunday was the full moon.......which was the Harvest Moon......simply the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox.

Not to be confused with the Hunter's Moon.......which is always the next to follow......on Nov. 2nd this year

Good Evening Folks
If anyone is around Friday morning at 7:31 a.m. ET take a look up at the moon (weather permitting) NASA is going to be landing and stiring up dust for testing of water. Should be visable to the naked eye. Though a telescope would be that much better.
Here is some info on what will be taking place.

Enjoy.

Unfortunately, it will probably be overcast in the Toronto area but you can watch it live online here:
