This weekend brings a double treat for some skywatchers, with the rising of the full corn moon and a total lunar eclipse. While North America will miss out on the eclipse, it will still be possible to watch a full moon rise in the east during dusk on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025. Traditionally named for the harvest season, the corn moon will be a striking sight as it appears on the horizon, marking the Northern Hemisphere summer’s final full moon.
The full corn moon will reach peak fullness at 2:10 p.m. EDT on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025, with the first view of it from North America coming that evening at moonrise.
In New York, moonrise will occur at 7:22 p.m. EDT, just two minutes after sunset, while in Los Angeles, look east at 7:19 p.m. PDT, five minutes after sunset.
