Harvest moon lights up sky around the world  

The harvest moon was out in full force as it coincided with an eclipse on Friday night.

From New York City to Los Angeles and Replin, Germany, to Essex in the United Kingdom, the night sky across the globe was illuminated by the stunning moonlight. 

Planes were dwarfed by the gigantic moon in California, looking like a true scene straight out of Hollywood, the Daily Mail reports.

In the Big Apple, the Mets played the Minnesota Twins beneath the gaze of the golden moon.

Even English castles looked small as a the reddish-gold moon rose high into the sky.  

People certain parts of the world were also able to watch the Earth's shadow crosses paths with the moon during the eclipse while others simply enjoyed the seemingly brighter-than-normal moon.

The eclipse was visible from Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia but not North and South America.

The phenomenon will not occur again until 2024. 

This month’s full moon was called the harvest moon because it is the closest full moon to the autumn equinox, which takes place on September 22 in the Northern Hemisphere.

Rising about half an hour later each night, the added light from the shining moon is said to have given farmers more time to harvest their crops.

This evening the harvest moon was engulfed in part of the Earth's shadow, in an event known as a penumbral eclipse.
