September's full moon, the 'Harvest Moon,' is rising at odd times as seen from the northern hemisphere. The cause is the reason for the seasons—Earth's tilted axis.
... [+]The moon is in a slight time-warp, but there’s no need to panic. It’s just the reason for the seasons.
Our natural satellite rises 50 minutes later each night. If that’s a bombshell, it shouldn’t be. A day lasts 24 hours and the moon orbits Earth every 29 days. It’s simple math, but it breaks down this week asTake New York City at 41º North. The moon rose at 17:41 on Wednesday will do so at 18:09 on Thursday, 18:35 on Friday, 19:00 on Saturday and 19:25 on Sunday. That’s just 25 minutes later each night.
At more northerly latitudes the difference is much more pronounced, with London in the U.K.—at 51º North—with moonrise times of 18:10, 18:27, 18:41, 18:54 and 19:08 for the same days. That’s as little as 13 minutes difference.
