Timeanddate.com says that the astronomical twilight in Edinburgh will take place between 7:44pm and 8:28pm. They also say that the moonrise will take place at 6:45pm and that it will set at 08:02am, the Doncaster Free Press reports.
The name is believed to come from seasonal practices for hunting and societies preparing for the cold winter ahead. It is the first full moon to follow the Harvest Moon which took place on September 10 earlier this year.
The spiritual meaning of the event is supposed to represent change. According to sportskeeda.com it can indicate growth and that “one is making progress.”
