[Explanation] On October 1st, on the special day of Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day "Happy Reunion", Tianyu ushered in a round of "thin version" full moon.
[Explanation] According to Hu Fanghao, an engineer from the Science Popularization Department of the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day are only four times in the 21st century. The last one appeared in 2001, and the other two will be in 2031 and 2077.

This "Meeting" not only brings you an 8-day long holiday, but also allows everyone to appreciate the "full moon" when celebrating the National Day.
After sunset, the moon will gradually rise from the southeast, this time the moon is still relatively petite.
Between 20:30 and 21:30, the moon will rise to a suitable height. This time is very suitable for everyone to appreciate the moon.
[Explanation] Hu Fanghao told reporters that until midnight, the full moon will climb to its highest point, in the sky just south.
At that time, people can enjoy the beauty of "the bright moon in the sky".

This time the Mid-Autumn Festival is also the "15 moon and 16 round", and the "full moon" will appear at 5:05 am on October 2nd.
Of course, there is no difference between the fifteenth moon and the sixteenth moon when we look at it with naked eyes, so it does not affect everyone's appreciation of the moon.
