On September 9, 2025, the full moon, known as the Sturgeon Moon, will occur. It reaches its maximum brightness at 3:55 AM Eastern Time. However, the best time to see it may be the evening of September 8, when it rises above the eastern horizon.

This moon has special significance in various cultures. The name "Sturgeon Moon" comes from the traditions of Native Americans, who during this time caught sturgeon in the Great Lakes. Other names that are used for this full moon include "Green Corn Moon" and "Grain Moon."

At night during the full moon, you can also observe the meteor shower Perseids, which is active in September. The best time for observation is the night of September 9, when the Perseids will be visible in the northeastern sky near Venus and Jupiter.

To follow the observation of the moon, choose a spot with an open horizon, such as a field or beach. Although the full moon can be seen with the naked eye, binoculars or a small telescope allow you to see its surface in more detail.
