North Texans will have a chance to see the Harvest Moon on Saturday, Sept. 26, if skies are clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The National Weather Service<\/a> forecast for Dallas calls for partly sunny skies<\/a> Saturday, with a high near 96 degrees. Saturday night is expected to be partly cloudy, so breaks in the clouds could allow North Texans to see the Harvest Moon.\u00a0<\/p>\n In Dallas, moonrise is expected at 7:12 p.m., about six minutes before sunset. Viewing times will vary slightly elsewhere in North Texas.<\/p>\n The moon will rise in the east and can be seen across North Texas<\/a> if clouds do not block the view, according to NASA.<\/a><\/p>\n A place with a clear view of the eastern horizon will offer the best chance to watch it rise.<\/p>\n \u00a0No telescope is needed. NASA also notes that Saturn will appear near the moon Saturday evening and can be seen with the unaided eye under good viewing conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n Harvest Moon is the name to use for this year\u2019s Sept. 26 full moon.\u00a0<\/p>\n The name belongs to the full moon closest to the fall equinox<\/a>, which occurred Tuesday, Sept. 22 this year. The Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac<\/a>\u2060 identifies the Sept. 26 moon as the 2026 Harvest Moon.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cCorn Moon\u201d is another traditional name associated with September\u2019s full moon and the season when corn was harvested. The names can overlap, but the Harvest Moon\u2019s date is determined by its proximity to the equinox; in some years, it falls in October instead.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a list of the remaining full moons and when they\u2019ll peak in Texas for 2026, according to the almanac.\u00a0<\/p>\n Oct. 25 \u00a0\u2014 Known as the \u201cFull Hunter\u2019s Moon,\u201d it\u2019s expected to peak about 11:11 p.m.
Nov. 24 \u2014 Known as the \u201cBeaver Moon,\u201d it\u2019s expected to peak about 8:53 a.m.
