Some Moon

Every year, it seems to me, there's more modern folklore about the Moon. Super-moons, and micro-moons (I never heard that one before this week), and all the monthly names that compete with "Harvest Moon" for people's attention. Or rather compete for space in the mass media output. . .

Anyway, I've been a Luna-fan (Lunaphile? Lunatic?) for a long time. Only in the past few years have I had a camera that reliably gets pictures of the Moon. So I take lots of pictures of it nowadays.

Tonight it is a Full Moon, a Harvest Moon *and* a micro-moon, plus at least for people west of me, all on a Friday the Thirteenth.

How much folklore can we pack onto this poor Moon?

Here, in Newfoundland, I am east enough that the true Full Moon is well after local midnight, and thus on the 14th of September. But even at 10:30 local time this is what it looked like, as close to full as it need be.
