On the night of the 1st (Thursday), the sky calms over a wide area of western and eastern Japan, and the “Mid-Autumn Moon” can be seen. Why don’t you look up at the sky slowly tonight
When the moon is visible near the horizon, the moon appears reddish because blue light is difficult to reach and red light is easy to reach as it passes through the atmosphere.
In western Japan and Tokai, where it was a bit hot during the day, the temperature drops and the air cools down at night. When looking at the moon, be careful not to be cold.
Originally, the lunar calendar divided the year into three months, with January-March as spring, April-June as summer, July-September as fall, and October-December as winter. August 15, which is the middle of the month, is designated as mid-autumn, and the moon that can be seen on that day is considered the month of mid-autumn.
The custom of worshiping the mid-autumn moon is said to have been introduced in China during the Heian period, and it is still considered a holiday in China as the mid-autumn festival and is one of the important events.
It is a famous mid-autumn month to appreciate the moon on August 15 of the lunar calendar which became customary in this way, but since the new calendar currently in use is about a month away from the lunar calendar, mid-autumn in September and October We celebrate the famous month.
In the future, the month of mid-autumn and the full moon will overlap in 2021, which will be the third year in a row until 2023, but before that it will be 2013, so it will be the first time in eight years. Also, there are only 3 years in the 10 years from 2019 to 2027.
However, although it does not overlap with the full moon, the difference with the full moon is 1 to 2 days, so you can see a bright moon near the full moon every year. This year, October 2 (Friday) is the full moon, which is one day away from the mid-autumn moon, but the time of the full moon is 6:05 on the 2nd, so the moon is looks like the moon in mid-autumn this year. However, it will be a round moon with almost a full moon.
