Fruit moon rising tonight

Clouds will likely spoil the view, but if you happen to be airborne above the clouds Tuesday evening you can watch the full moon rise above the eastern horizon.

The third full moon after the summer solstice, this one is called the Fruit Moon in some traditions, providing illumination for harvest into the evening as fruit trees ripen around this time of year.

The moon will be officially full at 1:05 p.m. today, but won't be visible in Baltimore until moonrise at 7:34 p.m. EDT, and then only if skies clear. If you're at the beaches (with better weather) look for moonrise over the Atlantic at 7:27 p.m.
