moon names
I looked up moon names, and some places said the full moon in September was the corn moon, but there were other assertions as well. Some said barley moon. And some gave a formula for determining the harvest moon based on the fall equinox.
All I knew was a blue moon: when two full moons are in the same month.
Anyway, there are different systems, and who knows how authentic these lists are, but this site has the most.
