Harvest or super-harvest moon? Astronomers debate Friday's lunar event


On Friday, we'll get a peek at the season's first harvest moon. In fact, it's being called a "super" harvest moon by some, but not without controversy. The harvest moon is usually described as the full moon occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, which falls on Sept. 22 this year. Whether it's a supermoon or not, there will be large areas of the country with good viewing conditions of Friday's impressive moon. Southern parts of the Prairie provinces are in for good viewing conditions, while northern areas will be cloudier.
