What is a Supermoon Eclipse?
A Supermoon occurs when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. A Lunar Eclipse happens when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the lunar surface. This often gives the Moon a reddish hue, earning it the nickname "Blood Moon." When these two events coincide, we witness a Supermoon Eclipse.
Corn Moon and Harvest Moon: A Celebration of Abundance
The Corn Moon gets its name from the traditional harvest of corn during this time. This full moon marks a period of plenty and gratitude for bountiful crops. The Harvest Moon, which often occurs in September or October, is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. It's known for its bright light, which traditionally aided farmers in extending their harvesting hours after sunset.
