Mid-Autumn Moon <Eidai Bridge>

[Sam] September 20, 2013 09:00

2013919.jpgDSC00045LS.JPG Today September 19th is August 15th in old calendar. The moon tonight is "Mid-Autumn Moon".

In fact, since the phases of the moon are not perfect one month, subtle gaps occur depending on the year, and the "medium-autumn moon" is not necessarily the full moon. This year is the last chance in the 2010s, when the mid-autumn moon is the full moon.

In general, typhoons often hit during this time, and fronts often stagnate near Honshu, and it is said that it will not be a sunny day for moon viewing in a wide area, but this year we are blessed with fine weather nationwide and love the moon The perfect conditions have been set.

I hear that various moon-viewing events are organized at sightseeing spots with a good view.

This is the part of Eitai Bridge. As houseboats pass through the river surface, a round "moon" shines in the clear autumn sky above the head of Eitai Bridge, which is lit up in blue.

By the way, the chance that the next "Mid-Autumn Moon" will be full in 2021.
