"There's a mountain of evidence that having a sense of purpose is correlated with feeling happy. And while an inanimate object such as the moon can't feel emotions, humans have much to thank our natural satellite for in terms of its purpose. From the tides to seasons to gravitational stability, if the moon were a person it would no doubt feel pretty content."
"Even better, our moon is somewhat of an entertainer, putting on a dazzling display every few weeks that we here on Earth call the full moon. And this month's full moon is no exception: September's "corn moon" will reach its peak illumination on Sunday, September 7. And if you are lucky enough to live in certain areas of Australia, Asia, Europe, or Africa, you will be graced with a total lunar eclipse."
A sense of purpose correlates with happiness, and the moon contributes to Earth's tides, seasons, and gravitational stability. The moon produces regular full moons; September's full moon, nicknamed the "corn moon," reaches peak illumination on September 7 at around 2 p.m. ET. The Old Farmer's Almanac popularized full-moon names based on Native American, Colonial, and European traditions; the "corn moon" corresponds to traditional corn harvest timing. A full moon occurs when Earth sits directly between the sun and the moon, illuminating the lunar face and appearing full for a couple of days. Observers in parts of Australia, Asia, Europe, and Africa can see a total lunar eclipse, while others can use solutions that bypass geography and weather.
