September's Full Corn Moon Rises Tonight!
Look up tonight (Sept. 6) to see the Full Corn Moon glowing in the sky. If you have binoculars or a telescope, you can also see the planet Neptune glowing faintly nearby.
The moon reached its fullest phase early this morning, at 3:02 a.m. EDT (0702 GMT), but it will still appear full to casual observers this evening. Look for it in the southern sky in the constellation of Aquarius, the Water Bearer .
Usually, the full moon in September is known as the Harvest Moon, but this year that name is reserved for October's full moon. That's because the Harvest Moon is the full moon that falls closest to the autumnal equinox, which occurs on Sept. 22 this year.

Moon is great!
Last night the moon was very bright, though it was mostly overcast out in my area, made some very interesting light refractions through the clouds.
In the Oijbwe culture this time of year is called the ''Ricing Moon''...Mid August to mid September...A time when we harvest wild rice.
