Was tonight the Harvest Moon?

I went out to look at the full moon tonight, but it was a normal moon. It wasn't the beautiful golden color attributed to the Harvest Moon at all. . . It was beautiful, but not golden. The Autumnal Equinox is next week, though. This is the full moon closest to the it. Why wasn't a it a golden harvest moon? I'm so confused. . .

    Yes, this is the harvest moon.

    Try to catch it tomorrow when it just rises above the horizon and you will be pleasantly surprised.

    Yes, the full moon closest to the Equinox is called the harvest moon. We had some nice color with our moon, we have some haze in the sky from some local fires.

The October finished Moon is likewise prevalent as finished "Hunters" or "Blood" Moon (defined because the first finished moon following the harvest moon; from searching prepare of using over the stubble of reaped grain fields pursuing foxes by ability of the gentle of the moon.); also finished shuttle Moon, finished lack of life Grass Moon.

    Really? That's unfortunate for you. Mine was nice and golden. I think most people's were.

    Yes, tonight was the Harvest Moon. I'm sorry yours was shoddy.
