The full corn moon \u2014 the final full of summer in the Northern Hemisphere \u2014 will turn full on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025, and be best viewed from North America that evening during dusk as it rises in the east. A few hours earlier, the full moon will have traveled through Earth\u2019s shadow, causing a \u201cblood moon\u201d total lunar eclipse<\/a> visible on the other side of the world, similar to one in North America last March. <\/p>\n A full Corn Moon rises over a soybean harvest at Malkow Farms in Monroe, Wisconsin, on September 17, 2024.

It will look full the nights either side. The best time to watch it rise in North America will be at moonrise at dusk later that day. <\/p>\n September\u2019s full moon is often called the harvest moon. However, that name is given to the full moon closest to the equinox on Sept. 22. This year, that means the next full moon, on Oct. 7, is closest, so gets that name. <\/p>\n Like the harvest moon, the corn moon takes its name from the fact that crops are harvested at this time of year in North America. According to EarthSky<\/a>, September\u2019s full moon is also known as the fruit moon. Cultural and seasonal names for the full moon vary hugely across the world. <\/p>\n A total lunar eclipse is a global event, but only the night side of Earth can witness it. For all stages of the eclipse on Sept. 7-8, 2025, parts of Asia, Australia and the Pacific will be on the night side while the Americas will be on the day side of Earth. No part of the eclipse will be seen from North or South America.<\/p>\n Best Time To See The Full \u2018corn Moon\u2019 Rise<\/p>\n For North America, the sight will be not of a \u201cblood moon,\u201d but of a typical full moon. A full moon always looks at its best when it first appears above the eastern horizon during dusk. Find an elevated location or an east-facing coastline with a clear view of the eastern horizon. To find the best time to see it appear from where you are, consult a moonrise calculator<\/a>. Here are some sample times : <\/p>\n A Total Lunar Eclipse In Asia, Australia And The Pacific<\/p>\n Although no part of it will be visible from North America, September’s full moon will, for some observers, also be a total lunar eclipse. Similar to the event seen in North America on March 13-14, 2025, this event will be visible from parts of Asia, Australia and the Pacific. For observers who can see the eclipse, totality \u2014 when the lunar surface turns completely red \u2014 will last 82 minutes. The entire eclipse, including the penumbral and partial phases (as the full moon moves through Earth\u2019s fuzzy outer shadow, the penumbra, and into its dark umbra), will last five hours and 27 minutes. According to Timeanddate.com<\/a>, 4.9 billion people will see the entire eclipse in September from beginning to end.<\/p>\n The ‘Blood Worm Moon’ total lunar eclipse is seen above Austin, TX on March 14, 2025.

That\u2019s because the moon\u2019s orbital path intersects the sun\u2019s path through Earth\u2019s sky (the ecliptic) twice each month. If it crosses the ecliptic as a full moon, it causes a lunar eclipse. Two weeks later, it will cross the ecliptic as a new moon, causing a solar eclipse, or vice versa. On Sept. 21, 2025 \u2014 two weeks after a total lunar eclipse \u2014 a partial solar eclipse will be seen from New Zealand, the South Pacific and Antarctica. <\/p>\n Background<\/p>\n The corn moon is the ninth of 12 full moons in 2025. A solar year is 365.24 days, while a lunar year is around 354.37 days, so sometimes there are 13 full moons in one calendar (solar) year \u2014 as in 2023 and next in 2028. Of the 12 full moons in 2025, three will be \u201csupermoons\u201d and two \u201cblood moon\u201d total lunar eclipses. The next full moon will be the harvest moon, the year\u2019s first \u201csupermoon,\u201d on Monday, Oct. 7, 2025. <\/p>\n Further ReadingForbesSee Two \u2018Blood Moons,\u2019 Three \u2018Supermoons\u2019 And The Biggest Full Moon Since 2019: The Moon In 2025By Jamie Carter<\/a>ForbesSee The Best Photos Of Today\u2019s Magnificent \u2018Blood Moon\u2019 Total EclipseBy Jamie Carter<\/a>ForbesSee The Best Photos Of Today\u2019s Magnificent \u2018Blood Moon\u2019 Total EclipseBy Jamie Carter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Topline The full corn moon \u2014 the final full of summer in the Northern Hemisphere \u2014 will turn…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":392446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[128839,135898,3863,38997,38994,135899,468,70,113799,119343,16,15,38996],"class_list":{"0":"post-392445","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-science","8":"tag-blood-moon","9":"tag-corn-moon","10":"tag-full-moon","11":"tag-full-moon-2025","12":"tag-full-moon-calendar-2025","13":"tag-full-moon-september","14":"tag-harvest-moon","15":"tag-science","16":"tag-september-full-moon","17":"tag-total-lunar-eclipse","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-when-is-the-next-full-moon"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115135910136923588","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=392445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/392446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=392445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=392445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
