The last full moon of the year’s astronomical summer, September’s full moon is also known as the Harvest Full Moon in the US and some other countries because it rises shortly after sunset on several consecutive evenings and historically provides farmers with extra moonlight to help them harvest.

It will also be a supermoon, meaning our natural satellite will be slightly larger and brighter than usual. This is because the Moon’s orbit around the Earth is slightly elliptical. When the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth during a full moon, called perigee, it appears larger in Earth’s sky. September’s super full moon will be the second of four consecutive super full moons in 2024. – last month we had the so-called blue super full moon.
