CNN —The full harvest moon will shine in the early morning hours of September 29, also marking the fourth and final supermoon of 2023.
September’s full moon will appear about 5% bigger and 13% brighter than the average full moon, according to NASA.
Other monikers for September’s full moon across different indigenous tribes include the corn maker moon from the Abenaki tribe, the moon of the brown leaves from the Lakota people and autumn moon from the Passamaquoddy tribe.
Many people associate the harvest moon with being orange in color as it begins to rise, but the same could be said of all full moons.
Only part of the moon will pass into shadow as the sun, Earth and moon will not completely align.
