The link above is of a full moon rising above the horizon. Full moons can be impressive especially due to their massive size. Monday's full moon was nearest to the Autumnal equinox.
In the northern hemisphere it is traditionally called a harvest moon because farmers would work late at night and see the moon rise.Despite the night, the sun continues illuminating the moon giving it an orange color.
