This full moon is known as the Full Corn Moon. This September full moon is actually pretty unique. Typically the full moon in September is known as the Harvest Moon because it is the full moon closest to the fall equinox (Sept. 22) but this year that isn’t the case. Every three years, the full moon in September happens early in the month and the first full moon in October ends up being closest to the equinox and therefore, called the Harvest Moon!
