There is a celestial feast for Indians today (Sept.14), as everyone can witness the smallest full moon or micromoon for the year 2019. This year’s full Harvest Moon presents the smallest, farthest full moon of 2019. It lies more than 252,000 miles away, in contrast to the moon’s average distance of about 239,000 miles. In general, the distance between Moon and Earth on this day will be 4,05,000 kilometres.
