September’s full moon, nicknamed the Corn Moon, rises on Sunday, Sept. 7. The moon turns full at precisely 2:09 p.m. EDT on Sunday. It will also appear bright and full on the days before and after the peak.

The September full moon gets its nickname from the corn that is commonly harvested this time of year in North America, according to Almanac. The name originated with native American tribes, but now enjoys widespread popularity.

The full Corn Moon will experience the year’s second and final total lunar eclipse. Beginning at 11:28 a.m. EDT (15:28 UTC), Earth’s shadow will pass over the moon for about five hours, totally blocking the sun’s light for 82 minutes and turning the lunar surface red. The eclipse will be visible from Asia, Australia, and most of Europe and Africa. It will not be visible from North or South America.
