- The Harvest Moon glowed across UK skies on Saturday, reaching peak fullness at 17:49 BST.
- The Moon made its biggest visual impact later in the evening when skies darkened, rather than at its official peak.
- BBC Weather Watchers submitted photographs of the display, with the BBC selecting favourites to publish.
- The Harvest Moon's name comes from its association with the traditional autumn crop-gathering season.
Why it matters: The piece ties a widely observed celestial event to the autumnal harvest tradition and showcases the BBC Weather Watchers network — a citizen-science audience that supplied the photographic record of the weekend's sky.
