Earths satellite grows fat over the next couple of days as it heads toward full moon. The gibbous moon gets its name from a Latin word meaning humped, a reference to the fact that moon does not look round during this phase.

The gibbous moon is heading eastward over the next few days, getting brighter and fuller each day. Ordinarily the moon rises about 45 minutes to an hour later each night. But when the full moon occurs near the equinox, it is in a spot that allows the moon to rise at a similar time for a couple of days in a row.

At the equinox, which occurred Sept. 22, the sun is directly above the equator. The closest full moon to the equinox this year is Oct. 1. Since the full moon is opposite the sun, it too is near, or at least close, to the equator. This is the Harvest Moon, so named because the full moon provides additional lighting for farmers to bring in their crops.

The sun is setting this week around 6:37 p.m. The moon rises at 6:35 p.m., 6:58 p.m. and 7:21 p.m. on Sept. 30, Oct. 1 and Oct. 2, respectively. Modern outdoor lighting has largely replaced the moon as a source of illumination, but the Harvest Moon still ushers in the fall foliage, pumpkins and harvest festivals of the autumn season.

The days are steadily getting shorter and we're heading into the colder months. For me, that conjures images of warm beverages and comfort food. So I've put together this list of awesome smart home products for the fall, ranging from theOxo Brew 8-Cup Coffee Makerto the Philips Hue Lily Outdoor Spot Light -- and several other favorites.

Of course, all of these gadgets are great year-round, but they're especially nice to have when it's cold outside.

Coffee is great any time, but a warm beverage can come in particularly handy during those chilly fall mornings when it's still dark outside and you need to get going.

The Oxo Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker is CNET's favorite drip coffee maker. Not only is it affordable at $170, we were impressed by its hot, speedy brew that didn't ruin the coffee grounds. Its 8-cup capacity means a full pot can keep you fueled throughout the workday -- and you'll still have plenty left over to share.

We even prefer the Oxo Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker over the popular $190Bonavita Connoisseur. The best coffee makers of 2020.

A kamado grill is an excellent cold-weather cooking appliance, one you can let sit and do its thing for hours at a time while you stay warm inside and enjoy the smell of brisket or ribs cooking away.

The $1,699 Kamado Joe Classic III is our favorite smoker/kamado grill. Because of its ceramic design, it holds heat well and can cook a variety of different dishes "low and slow" to deliver food that's ridiculously tender and flavorful.

Yes, the Kamado Joe Classic III is extremely expensive, but if you're serious about getting a kamado grill that works wonders, this is our favorite by far. The best kamado grills of 2020.

Fall is my favorite time of year to sit around a fire pit, and the Tiki Brand Fire Pit is CNET's top choice for a backyard fire pit. Priced at $350, this fire pit isn't cheap, but it's worth it.

We especially liked its large size, sturdy build and overall design. Its removable ashtray made it easy to clean, too. A built-in airflow system reuses the hot smoke generated from the fire pit, reducing the amount of smoke overall.

It was easy to light, but it gets extremely hot after being lit and takes a long time to cool down afterward, so exercise caution. At 45 pounds, it's on the heavier side for a modular fire pit, so consider setting it up with two people. The best fire pits of 2020.

No appliance makes me think of fall more than an Instant Pot. These versatile multicookers can do pretty much anything, including cook up chili, stew and other classic cold-weather meals fast.

The Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 is our favorite model. It acts as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer and rice cooker. You can also use it to saut and to make yogurt -- or even to warm up leftovers. The Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 is available in 3-quart, 6-quart and 8-quart size options.

While it can't be used for canning or to bake cake, this model has the following modes: Poultry, Meat/Stew, Rice, Bean/Chili, Multigrain, Porridge, Soup/Broth, Steam, Slow Cook, Saut, Yogurt, Pressure Cook and Keep Warm. The best Instant Pots of 2020.

An electric kettle is a helpful kitchen appliance all year, but I use mine even more when it's cold outside to make hot water for coffee, tea -- and to heat up a simmering stock pot more quickly for pasta, mashed potatoes and other comfort dishes.

The Cuisinart CPK-17 is my favorite electric kettle. It has a large capacity, boils water fast and has a lot of hot water settings. Some of the settings include a traditional boil button, a 160-degree/delicate button, a 190-degree/oolong button and a "keep warm" button.

It also features a button to open the lid, so you don't have to open the lid manually, as well as an automatic "keep warm" function after it reaches boiling. It automatically turns off after 30 minutes. The best electric kettles of 2020.

With the days getting shorter, it's nice to have additional outdoor lighting to illuminate your yard -- and to provide some much-needed ambience to the sometimes gloomy fall weather.

The Philips Hue Lily Outdoor Spot Light kit comes in a pack of three lights. The spotlights can shine color-temperature-adjustable white light, but they're also color-changing, if you want to get festive heading into the holiday season. The Philips Hue Lily Outdoor Spot Lights require a Philips Hue hub to work and are controllable in the Philips Hue app. They're also supposed to work with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri voice commands. Light up your yard with a Philips Hue Outdoor Spotlights 3-pack for $270.

How Outdoor Motion Sensor Lights Market Will Dominate In Coming Years? Report Covering Products, Financial Information, Developments, Swot Analysis...

Want to practice your knuckleball? This 18-acre gated property has you covered. Prefer a game of one-on-one? The court is all yours. Or maybe the serenity of rod and reel are more your style? The spring-fed pond is fully stocked.

This incredible home, listed for $9.9 million, in Lucas, Texas, just north of Dallas, has all a sports enthusiast could ask for (well, minus the indoor hockey rink). The turf baseball field even has dugouts, covered seating and separate pitching and batting cages. The fenced-in basketball court is regulation size, and the putting green area includes a fire pit and heated floors for year-round comfort. Swimming in the pond is a population of bass, catfish and seasonal trout. If you prefer fewer fins with your own swim, theres always the 85,000-gallon backyard pool.

And thats just the outside. Inside, the single-story home sprawls across 8,000 square feet. Floor-to-ceiling windows onto all that the outdoors has to offer stretch across the vast open living space.

All five bedrooms are ensuite, with heated floors, electric shades and a convenient laundry room in the primary suite.

The game room includes a wet bar and half bath with direct access to the pool deck and its cabanas. The collection of signed football helmets showcased in the room are available for sale for an additional fee. The media room has its own kitchen area, so snacks are close at hand during those movie marathons.

The main kitchen includes Sub-Zero appliances, two dishwashers, alderwood cabinetry and a massive island. The home has a built-in smart system and can be controlled from the owners cellphone. Inside the home office, the overhead fan is made from an actual jet propeller.

If the three-car garage cant hold your complete collection, theres one more, a single climate-controlled garage that could also double as a fitness studio if you cant get your workout in using one of the outdoor sports spaces.

On the back deck, find two hot tubs in addition to the pool and an air-conditioned cabana. Plenty of covered terrace spaces unite the outdoor kitchen with the deck.

A covered seating area with its own wet bar juts out into the pond for an all-day respite.

While the entire property at 1010 Wendy Lane feels like a private resort, the current owners kept preparedness in mind: A private well and underground rainwater storage tanks provide water for the entire estate, and there is a backup generator and two 1,000-gallon propane tanks on site in case of emergency.

This $10 Million Sportsmans Estate Will Let You Have Your Own Field of Dreams - Robb Report

Is it a summer house? Is it a gazebo or even a cabana? Absolutely not. Its a tea pavilion and if you want to keep up with the Sussexes, youll be building one in your garden this Autumn.

Among the sprawling acres of Harry and Meghans Montecito estate, somewhere between the childrens cottage, guest house and swimming pool, is the teahouse a nod to the ancient Japanese tradition of retreating to a small, simple wooden building (known as a chashitsu) in the garden to drink tea and leave behind the commotion of the city.

Done properly, guests should perform certain rituals before taking part in a tea ceremony, including washing their hands and mouths to purify their body and spirit, and removing their shoes. Who knows whether Meghan will insist on such protocol from her starry guests one imagines she probably does. But she is not the only resident of this Southern Californian millionaires enclave to have a tea pavilion in her garden.

The neighbouring Somerset Estate an early 20th century house set on 1.6 acres in Montecitos Golden Quadrangle - also features a teahouse near the pool. The truth is, few tea pavilions will actually house a traditional tea party, says Cristal Clarke from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices in Montecito, who is marketing the property for $7.495m.

What they do provide is an oasis of calm in an incredibly civilised setting where the owner can feel at one with nature. It acts as a statement piece and we often see these spaces filled with scatter cushions, candles and wind chimes, Clarke adds.

6 beachy homes on the Jersey Shore - ourcommunitynow.com

With elementary and high school around the worldattending school virtually this fall, hotels are selling an unlikely travel opportunity the "schoolcation."

Families are being enticed from their homes by hotels promising a change of scenery alongside tutoring, round-the-clock tech help and after-school activities that are more fun than what's available back home.

Kimpton Hotels is tackling one of the most teeth-gnashing roles parents have undertaken since many schools shuttered this spring the job of unpaid tech-supportstaff.

"In hearing from parents, one of the biggest pain points with virtual learning is getting their kids signed in and online especially for those who have young children while managing their own workload and meetings," said Kathleen Reidenbach, Kimpton's chief commercial officer. "Our goal is to provide some relief for parents traveling with kids and get the set-up portion of online learning off their plate."

School supplies and snacks are provided to kids taking virtual classes at select Kimpton hotels.

The hotel brand has installed "Chief Virtual Learning Officers" to help kids with everything from Zoom log-ins to printing problems. Thoseofficers, who can be called as needed or booked in advance, also provide snacks, school supplies and kid-sized desks.

Reidenbach said the program evolved from Kimpton's "Work from Hotel" packages and changing travel trends caused by remote schooling.

"We're seeing family vacations increasingly extend into the fall," she told CNBC's Global Traveler.

The pilot program is launching at nine Kimpton locations in the U.S. and Canada, with some allowing additional rooms to be booked during school hours from $79 per day.

Luxury travelers can enroll kids from 6 to 17 years old in Montage Academy, a back-to-school package launched on Sept. 8 that comes with access to a "study hall" and round-the-clock virtual tutoring on more than 180 subjects through Tutor.com, a service owned by The Princeton Review.

"We've transformed meeting spaces at each property into a dedicated study hall," said Jason Herthel, president and chief operating officer of Montage International. The halls have staff "who greet students, proctor the room and answer questions, ensure social distancing, assist with IT needs, coordinate lunch arrival and movement breaks throughout the day, andfacilitate the afternoon elective."

Montage Los Cabos charges $125 per day or $500 per week for the Montage Academy program.

Courtesy of Montage International

One "elective" is provided per day, and options from woodshop and cooking to fly-fishing and astronomy vary by hotel.

The program was created to help families during this "very unusual time" said Herthel.

It's available at Montage hotels in Park City, Utah; Laguna Beach, California; Bluffton, South Carolina, and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Families who want to experience history, rather than just study it, can explore the Grand Back to School Package at Mackinac Island's Grand Hotel. Launched on Aug. 21, the program combines virtual study time with activities around the island, which is a National Historic Landmark in Lake Huron, Michigan.

Mackinac Island and the Grand Hotel are both National Historic Landmarks, a recognition by the U.S. government of historic places with "national significance."

Courtesy of Grand Hotel

"The package was launched as a way to encourage guests to make Grand Hotel their home base during this time of virtual learning and remote working," said Doug Dean, executive vice president of operations at Grand Hotel. "At the end of the day, families can take a break to spend time outdoors and experience everything Mackinac Island has to offer."

The hotel, which first opened in 1887, created a study space for kids within its 22,000-square-foot meeting room. The space has socially-distanced work areas and a staff member to assist with computer-related issues.

Kids at Mackinac Island's Grand Hotel can take carriage rides, play lawn games and listen to talks given by the resident historian on the hotel porch.

Courtesy of Grand Hotel

Dean said 13 families have participated to date.

"We are seeing shorter booking windows more than ever before and anticipate the interest will pick up in October as more families become aware of the option and start to feel more comfortable to travel away from home," he told CNBC.

Children 17 and younger stay free under the program, which includes two daily meals, golf for kids, and admission and discounts to local museums and attractions.

Kids who struggle to finish their virtual work may have a new incentive to complete their classes rollicking afternoons in Walt Disney World's four theme parks.

Four Seasons Resort Orlando has an onsite lazy river, two water slides and a 7,590 square-foot family pool with an underwater audio system.

Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, located north of Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco, Mexico, announced a new "Knowledge for All Seasons" program for remote learners. The program includes 24-hour tech support, study buddies to help with classwork and reserved pool and beach "study cabanas" outfitted with monitors, Wi-Fi, portable chargers and snacks.

Kids can also learn about Mexico'shistory, cuisine and culture at the hotel through arts and crafts workshops and language lessons.

Kids at Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita can sign up for outdoor activities including yoga, surfing, tennis and golf lessons.

At the nearby The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, "workcations" come with workstations and happy hours for parents and academic assistance for the kids.

The hotel can help coordinate classes or private tutoring through The Punta Mita Homeschool, a local company that can assist with distance learning or coordinate art, music, sports or Spanish language lessons.

The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort is located within a 1,500-acre resort and residential community north of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

The company also holds Saturday morning environmental projects, such as turtle release programs and beach cleanups.
