September's full moon in the northern hemisphere is known as the 'Harvest Moon'—a name that may have originated from ancient Native American traditions.

Take note skywatchers, because this weekend a full"harvest" moon will appear in the night sky across the United States—and for some, it may even be visible on Friday 13.

Technically, a full moon occurs at a specific moment. For those living in the Eastern Time Zone, this will be 12:33 a.m. on Saturday, September 14,However, Americans in the Pacific, Central, Mountain and Alaskan time zones will witness the full moon on Friday 13—a day that is considered unlucky in Western superstition.

Even though the full moon only occurs at a specific moment in time, it will appear perfectly circular to our eyes for about 24 hours before and after. In the Northern Hemisphere, the full moon closest to the fall equinox—which this year takes place on September 23—traditionally had a special significance for farmers who were in the middle of the harvest season because it enabled them to work later into the evenings.
