The full moon of September has many names

Selling in the two days following the autumn equinox, this week's Harvest Moon is a real reminder of the changing seasons.

According to NASA, the moon will officially become full at 22:52. Monday.

So when the moon rises on Monday night around 19:50 in the middle of Michigan, it will be almost full. But he will not touch until three hours later.

Many call it Harvest Moon because it's the time when late-season crops like corn and some fruits were still being harvested. He is also close to the autumnal equinox, which fell this year on the evening of Saturday 22 September.

But this first full moon of autumn also has other older names that you might like to use instead.

According to Space.com, September's orbit was known as the Fallen Moon for the Great Lakes Ojibwe.

The haidah tribes of the Pacific Northwest called it the cedar bark moon.

In Ontario, the Crees called it the Rutting Moon because it got up during the deer breeding season.
