    Why is it called the Corn Moon?

    Corn is typically harvested around this time of year (late summer into early fall) in much of the northern U.S., the Old Farmer’s Almanac says. Because of this, many Native Americans traditionally used some variation of the name “Corn Moon” to refer to August or September’s moon.

    Other names for the September full moon

    The Old Farmer’s Almanac says other names for the September full moon include the Autumn Moon, Falling Leaves Moon, Leaves Turning Moon, Moon of Brown Leaves and Yellow Leaf Moon.

    When will the Corn Moon be at its peak in Kentucky?

    The full moon peaks at 2:10 p.m. in Louisville on Sept. 7.

  • What to know about the corn moon, when to watch the last full moon of the summer

    And just like that, the last full moon of the summer is right around the corner.

    Here’s what to know in case you plan on tuning in.

    When is the next full moon?

    The next full moon, a corn moon, will be visible on Sept. 7 at 2:09 p.m., according to TimeandDate.com.

    After the full moon, the last quarter moon will appear on Sept. 14 at 6:33 a.m., followed by the new moon on Sept. 21 at 3:54 p.m. and the first quarter moon on Sept. 29 at 7:54 p.m., according to the Almanac.

    What is a corn moon? What is a harvest moon?

    In September, the full moon is known as the corn moon and stems from Native American tribes harvesting corn during this time. A corn moon is also known as the “autumn moon,” “falling leaves moon,” “wine moon,” “barley moon” and “song moon” in Native American and Celtic cultures, according to Almanac.

    September’s moon can also be the harvest moon, which is the first full moon occurring nearest to the autumnal equinox, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

    The harvest moon, a name given to whichever moon lands the closest to the September equinox around Sept. 22, typically occurs in September but occasionally lands in October around every three years. September’s full moon is not the harvest moon this year.

    The “harvest” moniker stems from the moonrise coming soon after sunset for several evenings. This results in an abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening, which has traditionally been a helpful resource for farmers and crews harvesting their summer-grown crops, according to Old Farmer’s Almanac.

    October full moon

    The full hunter's moon rises over Barnstable Harbor, Massachusetts, on Oct. 20, 2021. As you may have guessed, October is named the hunter's moon because October is prime hunting season.

    Looking ahead, October’s full moon is on Oct. 6 at 11:47 p.m. It is called the “hunter’s moon” and is named after the practice of hunting and preserving meats for the coming winter. Like September’s corn moon, if the hunter’s moon occurs closest to the fall equinox, it is called the harvest moon, TimeandDate.com reports.

    This year, October’s full moon is the harvest moon.

    Alternative names for the hunter’s moon are the “drying rice moon,” “sanguine moon,” “seed fall moon” and “blood moon” (which is different from the total lunar eclipse blood moon that is called such due to its reddish tinge).
