JAMES:
SEPTEMBER 24TH IS THE OFFICIAL NIGHT OF THE

HARVEST MOON.

DEAN:
THE HARVEST MOON RISES AT SUNSET AND LIGHTS

UP THE ENTIRE NIGHT.

LET'S FOLLOW ITS PATH IN EARLY EVENING,
AFTER MIDNIGHT, AND JUST BEFORE DAWN.

JAMES:
WE'RE LOOKING EAST JUST AFTER SUNSET ON SEPTEMBER

24TH.

THERE YOU'LL FIND THE HARVEST MOON JUST RISING
WITH AN

ORANGE TINT.

DEAN:
NOW LET'S MAKE IT 1 A.M., WHEN THE HARVEST

MOON REACHES ITS HIGHEST POINT.

ZOOMED IN THROUGH A TELESCOPE LIKE THIS,
ITS SO BRIGHT YOU'LL NEED SUNGLASSES!

JAMES:
BEFORE DAWN, LOOK WEST AND SEE THE HARVEST

MOON SETTING.

IT WILL BEGIN TO TURN ORANGE AGAIN,
JUST LIKE IT DID WHEN IT ROSE HALF A DAY AGO.

AND THEN THE SUN WILL RISE IN THE EAST AS
THE MOON SETS IN THE WEST.

DEAN:
SO DURING A HARVEST MOON, YOU EXPERIENCE 12

HOURS OF DAYLIGHT FROM THE SUN AND
12 HOURS OF MOONLIGHT FROM THE MOON.

BOTH: KEEP LOOKING UP!
