View at EarthSky Community Photos . | Greg Bishop in Seal Beach, California wrote: “‘Whispy, misty Harvest Moon’ I could see the moonrise from my living room window. I’m not far from the Pacific Ocean, and I think the marine layer had reached my area with moisture that barely moved so I could shoot ‘in the clear.’ But as I looked through the viewfinder/telephoto, I liked the edge glow and the shapes made by the still mist.”

View at EarthSky Community Photos . | Ragini Chaturvedi was at Old Bridge, New Jersey, when she captured this image of the rising, nearly full moon on October 19, 2021. She wrote: “This evening’s almost full moonrise at 99.5 % illumination. Hunter Moon, across the Belt of Venus, right above the horizon.” Thank you, Ragini! All full moons look full for several nights in a row. But it’s a characteristic of the Hunter’s Moon to rise around the time of sunset – in twilight – for several evenings in a row. Lots of opportunities for great Hunter’s Moon photos!
