If your backyard seemed unusually lit last night, that was the near-full moon showing off, and tonight will be even better. This is October’s Harvest Moon, the one that lands closest to the fall equinox and, this year, doubles as a supermoon. According to NASA, it can appear up to 30% brighter and 14% larger than the faintest full moon of the year.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac says this moon once helped farmers work late into the night, its steady light stretching harvest season before electricity existed. It also rises at nearly the same hour for a few evenings in a row, giving us that lingering golden twilight at the edge of fall.

In Seattle, the moon will rise around 6:18 p.m., with dusk settling in soon after sunset at 6:40 p.m. Look east as the sky darkens to see it at its biggest and warmest. The golden tint comes from Earth’s atmosphere scattering the light, the same way it does at sunset.

You really can’t mess up moon-watching. You don’t need to drive anywhere or hunt down a dark field. You don’t even need an app—just look up. If it’s low on the horizon, even better because rooftops and trees make it look huge. Take a slow walk around the block, or catch it from your driveway or deck. And if clouds roll in, don’t worry, it’ll still look just as pretty tomorrow night.

If you’re staying in, turn off the lights and leave the curtains open. You’ll get all the mood lighting you need right from your couch. The next full moon, the Beaver Moon, will rise on Nov. 5, followed by the Cold Moon on Dec. 4.
