Glaswegian's were treated to a jaw-dropping sight this evening.

If you were lucky enough to catch it, the Harvest Moon rose in the night sky over Glasgow city centre, and what a beautiful sight it was to behold.

So, what is the Harvest Moon?

The Harvest Moon is the full Moon nearest the start of the autumnal equinox, usually taking place in September, the abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening was a traditional aide to harvest crews, hence the name 'Harvest Moon'.

On the date of the equinox, September 22 this year, day and night are roughly the same length across Earth. Following this, the night then becomes longer than the days in preparation for the clocks changing and winter.

According to stargazers, the phenomenon reportedly won't happen again until 2024 so we'll just leave these images here for you to marvel at until the time being.
