What is it called a harvest moon?  Is there really a dark side of the moon? What is a super-moon?

Learn about all of this, and more during a nighttime stroll with director of education, Kensey Amerson under September’s Harvest moon.  We will let our eyes adjust naturally to the low light and enjoy a casual stroll around Lockerly under the full moon.
