It's the Autumnal Equinox in the western hemisphere AND the Mid-Autumn Festival in the east - the first time since 1991 that just when the nights start getting loooonger, the moon will be at its biggest and brightest! Chinese tradition celebrates this time of the year with paper lanterns and moon cakes - yummy breads filled with lotus seed cream and egg custards! Western traditions celebrate the last and plentiful harvest before the long winter months, which is why the September moon is also called the harvest moon! 
So wherever you are in the world, TudyGirls, celebrate the magic of this special time of the year - look up and go moon-gazing! And when you've got your sights earth-bound again, try out this little quiz on the the loveliest orb in our night sky!
