The September full moon is called the Harvest Moon or the Full Corn Moon.
These names reflect the agricultural activities traditionally associated with September.
Harvest Moon
The Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox (around September 22nd or 23rd in the Northern Hemisphere). Farmers could work late into the night harvesting their crops under its bright light, hence the name. It is unique because for several evenings around the peak, the moon rises soon after sunset, providing ample light for harvesting.
Full Corn Moon
The Full Corn Moon is another name for the September full moon, as it signifies the time when corn is typically harvested.
| Month | Name |
|---|---|
| September | Harvest Moon (or Full Corn Moon) |
Therefore, both "Harvest Moon" and "Full Corn Moon" are correct and commonly used names for the September full moon.
