00:00Fall officially starts Tuesday, and just a few days later, you'll get the first full moon of the season.
00:05Astronomical fall begins Tuesday, September 22nd at 8.05 p.m. Eastern, exactly, with the autumnal equinox.
00:11That's when the sun's direct rays cross the equator, giving most of the world roughly 12 hours of daylight and
00:1612 hours of darkness.
00:18After that, nights become longer than days across the northern hemisphere.
00:22Then Saturday night, look up for the harvest moon, the full moon closest to the fall equinox.
00:27And the name goes back to a time when farmers used the extra moonlight after sunset to keep harvesting their
00:32crops.
00:32What are you looking forward to the most?
