The September full moon, traditionally known as the corn moon because it coincides with the corn harvest, will be on full display tonight.
In some parts of the world, people will be able to see a full lunar eclipse that will cause the moon to appear red and gradually disappear for more than an hour as the earth blocks out the sun

That eclipse won’t be viewable in Alabama, or in North America, but across Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia after midnight many will be able to see the moon glow red and then gradually disappear and reappear, according to NASA.
Although Americans won’t see the eclipse, tonight’s full moon will be dazzling.
September’s full Corn Moon will have peak illumination today at 1:09 p.m., when it’s still below the horizon. The corn moon’s illumination has traditionally helped farmers harvest their crops past sundown.
