For many folks September marks the beginning of the 2025-26 school year but for Full Moon Sky Watchers it is a lot more:
The September full moon is called the Corn Moon.
The September 2025 full moon is the Blood Moon.
The September 2025 full moon includes an eclipse.
The Moon always appears full in the days before and after peak illumination. Full Moon is the only phase where the Moon is up all night, with moonrise and moonset occurring around sunset and sunrise.
Regular readers of this site know that full moons usually are named for their season or their crops so there’s little surprise that the September’s full moon is often called the Corn Moon to indicate when the crop is harvested.
In the US its peak illumination will be at 2:09 p.m. Eastern Time, September 7-8. However, because that will be below the horizon watch for it after sunset.
However, the September 2025 full moon is also a Blood Moon. And yes, that is what some people, mostly in Europe, Australia Asia and Africa will see because some of its time in the sky it will appear red.
A fully eclipsed Moon is called a Blood Moon which will happen Sept. 8 when the Moon passes through Earth’s shadow as a lunar eclipse. It will be covered by the darkest part of Earth’s shadow. The full eclipse will last for about an hour and 22 minutes.
