<B> Explanation: </B>
A Full Moon <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070607.html">rising</A>
can be a <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050623.html">dramatic</A> celestial
<A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap031011.html">sight</A>, and
Full Moons can have <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070103.html">many</A> names.
For example, tonight's Full Moon, the one nearest the
autumnal <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070923.html">equinox</A>
in the northern hemisphere, is popularly
called the Harvest Moon.
<A href="http://www.space.com/spacewatch/061229_moonnames2007.html">According
to lore</A> the name is a fitting one because farmers
could work late into the night at the end of the growing season
harvesting crops by moonlight.
In the same traditions, the Full Moon following the
<A href="http://www.earthsky.org/faq/harvest-moon">Harvest Moon</A> is
the Hunter's Moon.
But, recorded on a trip to the American southwest, this
contribution to <A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap051215.html">compelling</A> images of
moonrise is appropriately titled
<A href="http://www.nps.gov/sagu/photosmultimedia/
photogallery%2Ehtm?eid=170356&root_aId=302#e_170356">Saguaro</A> Moon.
