In September 2027: first quarter on September 7, full moon on September 15, last quarter on September 23, and new moon on September 30. The dates and times follow Universal Time until your browser converts them to your own time zone, so a phase that falls near midnight can land on the day before or after where you live.
The full moon of September is traditionally called the Corn Moon. That night the Moon is 399,341 km from Earth.
For stars, meteors and the Milky Way, the darkest nights run from September 27 to October 3, around the new moon, when the Moon stays out of the evening sky.
