Tonight, September’s most iconic Full Moon takes over the sky and it has a planetary companion nearby.

The Moon reached full phase today, September 26, at 16:49 UTC 12:49 p.m. EDT. Tonight it rises as the 2026 Harvest Moon, the Full Moon occurring closest to the Northern Hemisphere’s autumn equinox.

Its name is more than seasonal tradition. Around the Harvest Moon, the geometry of the Moon’s path produces relatively short intervals between successive evening moonrises at northern mid-latitudes historically providing extra moonlight during harvest season.

And tonight, look beyond the Moon itself. Saturn is nearby, appearing as a golden point of light in the same region of the sky. The two worlds only appear close from our perspective: the Moon is roughly 239,000 miles from Earth on average, while Saturn is more than a billion kilometers away.

Sassafras (Sassafras albidum) is a tree that was originally used as one of the primary flavorings for root b**r. Sassafras roots make a great tasting tea and taste very similar to root b**r on their own.

The young leaves of sassafras tastes a bit like fruit loops. The leaves are ground into a Cajun seasoning called file which is added to gumbo.

Sassafras root was a main ingredient in the mass production of root b**r until it was banned in 1960. It was banned because high concentrations of safrole were shown to be toxic to lab rats. However, there is a lot of controversy around this decision.

I personally consume sassafras root tea from time to time and had no ill effects. Sassafras leaves contain little to no safrole and are considered perfectly safe to consume.

☄️ A little autumn magic is coming to the night sky!
(Link To More Information In Comments)

The Orionid meteor shower peaks around October 21–22, as Earth passes through debris left behind by Halley’s Comet.

For your best chance to spot these fast-moving shooting stars, head outside after midnight—ideally before dawn. Find a dark spot away from streetlights, bundle up, and give your eyes time to adjust. No telescope needed!
