According to the Farmers' Almanac, Native American tribes named each full moon to keep track of time and the seasons. Check out the full moon for August, which is called the Corn Moon because of the corn harvest or the Sturgeon Moon because fish are readily caught. Looking ahead, September's moon is the Harvest Moon because it's bright enough to finish chores. It has also made its way into song, if you remember…."Shine on, Harvest Moon."
