Original: APOD: 2026 October 1 - Harvest Moon with Erupting Mount Etna https://science.nasa.gov/image-article/apod-2026-october-1-

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day for October 1, 2026 features the Harvest Moon glowing above Sicily's Mount Etna as the volcano erupts, with the Belt of Venus also visible in the sky. The image pairs a full moon with active volcanic activity, drawing attention for its rare combination of celestial and geological events captured in one photograph.

Why now: The striking combination of a full Harvest Moon and an erupting volcano in one image is capturing public attention.
