Tonight is the Harvest Moon of 2012. The moon will reach its fullest at 11:19 PM EDT, and will be bigger in size, and appear closer to the Earth (although it actually isn't) than usual.
In the times of long ago, when Bethesda was mostly farmland, the Harvest Moon was a big help, providing light to harvest and hunt by during nighttime hours.
For the three nights of the Harvest Moon, starting tonight, the moon will rise after sunset, and remain in the sky until dawn.
So there are two times to keep in mind: sunset, and 11:19 PM tonight.
