NASA says that the moon will appear full for about three days, starting yesterday all the way into Friday evening.
Usually, the moon rises an average of about 50 minutes later each day, but near the autumnal equinox, the difference is only 30 minutes.
The Full Harvest Moon, which will be visible tonight, rises at sunset and then rises near sunset for several consecutive nights.
