The full corn moon — the final full of summer in the Northern Hemisphere — 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’s shadow, causing a “blood moon” total lunar eclipse visible on the other side of the world, similar to one in North America last March.
The corn moon will turn full at 2:10 p.m. EDT on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025. 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.
September’s 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.
