United States residents who missed the partial solar eclipse on Aug. 11 have another chance to see something wild in the sky this month. The August full moon — dubbed the “green corn moon,” the “grain moon,” the “red moon” and the “sturgeon moon” — will be visible in the sky soon.
The full moon reached its full phase on Sunday morning, according to space.com, which means the full moon will be visible about 24 minutes after sunset on Sunday, Aug. 26.
A full moon is often visible 24 hours before and after its peak, so stargazers may be able to catch a glimpse on Monday night, too.
