This is September's Harvest Moon. It is the full moon nearest to the autumnal equinox. The moon looks so large due to moon illusion. HArvest moon gets it's name because farmerswould use the moonlight of the full moon to harvest crops late into the night at the end of their growing season. This orange like color is anaffect created by the atmosphere and horizon. As the moon rises, it loses it's color and "appears to shrink due to angles of the moon and our perspective. I love looking at the moon especially during harvest moons so this picture really connected to me.
