Not only is there a full moon this weekend, but there will also be a full lunar eclipse! The event technically happens on Saturday into Sunday, and will mostly be seen by our friends in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and parts of the Middle East.
The moon often gives off a red hue during an eclipse, and the September full moon is known as the Corn Moon from the traditional time for harvesting corn. When it’s all paired together, the striking celestial event is called a Blood Corn Moon Total Lunar Eclipse, and it absolutely must be celebrated with music!
