  • Full Harvest Moon – September 12
  • Full Hunter’s Moon – October 11
  • Full Beaver Moon – November 10
  • Cold Blood Moon – December 10

The September full moon is called the Full Harvest Moon because it’s closer to the Autumn Equinox than the October Full Moon.

Was there a blue moon in 2011?

No, there was not a blue moon in 2011 because none of the months had more than 1 full moon. There also wasn’t a seasonal blue moon as part of 2011 because none of the seasons had four full moons. Each season will have three full moons.

There are two definitions of blue moons. The most common, and the one you likely know, is when two full moons occur in the same month. The second full moon is typically called a blue moon.

The second definition of a blue moon relates to having an extra full moon during a season. When a season has four full moons, the third full moon of the season is also called a blue moon or a seasonal blue moon to help distinguish between the other definition.
