Lamping Ally said...

@ hannah graff your so totally right it is B-E-A utiful! :) Do they call it a harvest moon because it happens on the first day of fall?

Schirmer,Brandon said...

i all ways wondered why the moon was yellow some days i think thats AWWSOME next thing you know the moon will turn blue.

Luke said...

I saw it at myif bustOP . I thought it was thye sun rising at first, but it was to the west, not east. I liked it a lot. Courtney Mauricio, its called a harvest moon because it appears at a harvest, or the beggining of planting.

Savard, Samantha said...

No i could not see the moon last night, but I bet it was pretty the only thing I could see was all the stars. When I saw the havest moon on the computer it looked really cool I just wish I could see it.

Anonymous said...

I love seeing the Harvest Moon. I was taking my dogs out and i looked up at the sky and saw the bright moon. i quickly ran inside and grabed the camara and took millions of pictures.

Moehring,DeeAnna said...

@ Greve Julia

Schirmer,Brandon said...

Kresser Jacob said...

i saw a couple of harest moons but this was the brightest

Peters,Jennifer said...

@luke
thanks for answering my question. I didn't really know what a harvest moon was.

Henson,Megan said...

I saw the harvest moon too. I wondered why it was yellowish-orange.

Sturwold, Kaylee said...

@courtney i agree it was beautiful i dont know exactly when it happens but it said in the article that it was very rare soo i dont think it happens to often and it hink they call it the harvest moon because it is a yellowy orange color

Henson,Megan said...

@Hannah Graff
I agree, the moon was beautiful!

Lamping Ally said...

@ walter How do you balance an egg on an equnox???

Luke said...

Brandon, everyone knows you can plant the cheese trees when it turns bliue

Rembold,Abby said...

I didnt see the harvest moon. I heard it was really cool.

@julia i didn't see jupiter. how can you. you must have a great eye or you like going outside alot.

Schirmer,Brandon said...

but luke you cant plant cheese in the moon you plant cows in the moon and then the cows give you milk and then you make CHEESE

Taylor's blog spot said...

taylor humphries- i saw it last night when my little cousin came over we thought it was so pretty

LaGrangeBonnie said...

I saw the harvest moon coming back from my volleyball game! It was so pretty and I had heard about the Harvest Mon and thought it was really cool! I think why they named it is interesting

Luke said...

Brandon, the meteors plant the cows. see, the cows latch on to the meteors, then they crash into the moon. the cows get stuck in the craters, and then the astronaut farmers harvest them fo cheeeeeeeeese.

Peters,Jennifer said...

@luke
How can you plant trees on the moon? And brandon how can there be cows??????

Schirmer,Brandon said...

but then if your cow gets a hole in it and the farmers plant the cows with holes and make SWISS CHEESE because the cow has a hole in it.

LaGrangeBonnie said...

@ Luke what does growing cheese trees have to do with the harvest moon?

Tyler said...

I SAW IT I THOUGHT IT LOOKED SOOO COOL I WAS AT SOCCER PRACTICE

Luke said...

jenn, they are Aelien Cows! And the moon has craters cause its made o swiss cheese, and neil armstrog ate some. the scientists wanted him to bring back moon rocks, but they were really just unning low on chees

Peters,Jennifer said...

@Brandon
So if cows have holes in them they make swiss cheese not american cheese?

ReddingtonDavid said...

i vish i could have saw it

Schirmer,Brandon said...

YESSSS jen

LaGrangeBonnie said...

@Jennifer,Luke,Brandon I shouldn't be surprised you guys are so random!

Peters,Jennifer said...

@luke
yea they sent him to the moon for cheese? think again I think you are wrong.

LaGrangeBonnie said...

@Julia no I didn't see jupiter did you? I bet that would've been cool!

Luke said...

Bonnie, its a harvest moon when the astronauts havev to harvest the cows.

Kresser Jacob said...

@ReddingtonDavid
What is vish

Moehring,DeeAnna said...

@ally lamping
yes, i think it is called the harvest moon because its on the first day of fall:)

LaGrangeBonnie said...

@ Luke okaaayyy then! i sorta get it

Peters,Jennifer said...

@luke
yea so they harvest the cows then sort them into american or swiss? I f they have holes in them they are swiss right? Or at least that is what Brandon says.

Luke said...

enuf abut cheez. mi dud and e looked at the moon through a telescope and it was blinding.

Rembold,Abby said...

@luke Luke what is a "cheese tree"?

Sturwold, Kaylee said...

@luke but wouldnt the cows die unless you made them a space suit and it wouldnt be possible it get the cows into space unless you put it in the space ship with you and that would be annoying to hear a cow mooing while you are in space

Anonymous said...

@ Reddington,David
Yeah, I "vish" you could have saw it too!

Peters,Jennifer said...

@Abby
yea I want to know the same thing.

Luke said...

Sturwald, the cows share a space suit with sea monkeys. we sent em up in the early 60s so we could get cheez

Mauricio,Courtney said...

@ Luke Thank you soo much for the information!!! That is soo cool! And you are sooo RANDOM!!!

Luke said...

da sea monkeys look for water on the moobn. we sent 6 of to venus to look for water

Sturwold, Kaylee said...

@luke you spelled my name wrong but anyway ohh i see so now we have sea monkeys why do we have sea monkeys in space what are they for . . .

kallmeyer, bridget said...

The moon was a realy prity orrngeish color and with my dad's bunoculars it made the moon look even more butiful.

Schirmer,Brandon said...

but the MOON does not have water they have nitrogen which the monkeys dive into

Andrew Gibbous McCarthy said...

I saw that out of my window and it was awsome i sat there for like five minutes looking at it i wish that would happpen every night

Luke said...

remember the ong, sombody once told me the world was macoroni, so i took a big bit out of a tree-ee. it tasted kinda funky so i spit ai a monkey... well the monkey s got mad and all went to the moon. then thy csan spit at us.

kallmeyer, bridget said...

@DeeAnna
I know were not going to see it again till 2029.

Luke said...

da munkeys are buiding a fleret to distroy the sun. they are going to fire chees at it.

Schirmer,Brandon said...

but before they do that they make a snack which is grilled cheese yummy yummy in my tummy

Sturwold, Kaylee said...

@luke monkeys arent going to destroy the sun

Kresser Jacob said...

@luke MONKEYS WIL NOT DESTORY THE SUN ..they not smart enough:)

Weisker,Kyle said...

I did not get a chance to ask someone to look at the moon and let me know what it looked like. It sounds like it looked really neat.Kids andf adults could be outside longer because this moon made more light.

Anonymous said...

Andie said...

I saw it when I was outside and it was amazing.

Natalie said...

@ courtney

i'm not sure but i think it's called the harvest moon b/c around this time is when people harvested the crops and since the moon was so bright the harvesters could stay up later harvesting

Anonymous said...

ANDREW,REIS

begining of every spring & fall there is a equnox which makes the moon closer to Earth for one day.

Dupont, Noah said...

I don't think i saw it, I mean I saw a red moon around that time, but it wasn't that bright. It did not really illuminate at all. I wish I could have seen it. I love seeing those types of things, those once in a long while cool things.

gaddis,breanna said...

@tedesco

Hannah Graff! said...

I Could Be Wrong Though

MooreKassidy said...

@ Josh.
I feel the same way. i didnt get to see it either and now i wish i would have!

Dupont, Noah said...

@Gorrasi Josh
Yeah same here. I've always wanted to see the moon when it is bigger, which is why I need to learn how to work our telescope.

Reis, Elizabeth said...

It was so pretty! When I woke up I was walking downstairs and I saw a glimpse of it in the skylight and I didn't know what it was at first! When I went back to look at it it was so pretty. I love the picture that they have of it on the artical. Its also weird to thing about how we wont see the Harvest moon again until 2029!

dacoda said...

Reis, Elizabeth said...

@Julia

@Dacoda Berger
I also think the harvest moon was cool but don't you think that if we saw the harvest moon every day it would lose its specialness.

Andrew Ehrman said...

@Noah Dupont

I missed the harvest moon too but i've seen it in the past and it was pretty cool.

It is called the Harvest Moon because the farmers use the moons light in the night so they could HARVEST thier crops. And I saw it to, it was cool.
