India, Sept. 24 -- The September Full Moon is also known as the Harvest Moon, a name traditionally given to the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. The name comes from the time of year when farmers traditionally harvested crops, with the bright Moon providing extra light after sunset. The Harvest Moon can fall in September or October, depending on when the autumnal equinox occurs.

The Harvest Moon reaches peak illumination on September 26, 2026, at 12:49 p.m. EDT, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. Since the peak occurs during the daytime in the US, you can look for the full Moon in the evening around September 25 and September 26. The Moon will appear full to the eye for more than one night around its peak.
