The 2012 Harvest Moon rises over, southwest Idaho's Treasure Valley. The full moon closest to the autumnal equinox is that year's Harvest Moon and corresponds with the harvesting of many crops. If you were on the roads in this neck of the woods, you'd see trucks filled with onions and sugar beets. The northern hemisphere's autumnal equinox, or first day of fall, was September 22nd. It is one of two days in the year, the other being the vernal, or spring, equinox, in which the sun rises due east and sets due west.
