Full Harvest Moon to Shine Beside Saturn This Weekend
Listen to the story
This weekend, people can see a special full moon in the sky. It is called the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to autumn. It has a special trick. Other full moons do not have this trick.
Near the moon, people can also see Saturn. Saturn will look gold in the sky. Saturn is a planet. It is far from Earth. Another planet, Neptune, will also be near the moon this weekend.
You do not need special tools to see the moon and Saturn. But a telescope can help you see Neptune better. Neptune is very far away and hard to see.
The best time to look is at night. Look up when the sky is dark. Try to find a place with no city lights. This makes it easier to see the stars and planets.
This is a good weekend for people who like to look at the sky. The Harvest Moon, Saturn, and Neptune will all be close together. It is a nice show in the night sky.
