As you may have known (or seen outside your window), the beginning of this month brought a full moon. This moon, called the "Corn Moon" by the Algonquin people, is the last full moon of summer.
As the seasons change, we hope that the health of the world will change for the better as well. In the meantime, let's get involved in the causes that are important to us and, of course, celebrate love.

On Sept. 1, Modern Love reopened submissions to its main column and Tiny Love Stories. If you have a story — long or short — please consider submitting before the inboxes temporarily close again in January.
Many things are taking place:
NASA Patents Faster, Cheaper Route For Traveling to the Moon
The space organization has revealed that it has discovered a new trajectory to the Moon that will get future missions to our celestial neighbor more efficiently.
NASA's new method allows for a small unmanned spacecraft to reach the Moon relatively quickly and on very little fuel.
The method, which was patented by NASA in June, sees the unmanned spacecraft essentially hitch a ride with communication satellites in order to reach high-Earth orbit before using the Earth's and the moon's gravity to perform a slingshot maneuver to the Moon.

Man in the Moon gets 80-year facelift | News | oswegocountynewsnow.com
Above, the Man in the Moon Candies exterior is being restored to look similar to the McDonald's Fashion shop which occupied the location for decades.
OSWEGO — When Man in the Moon Candies first opened in 2018 in the footprint of the former McDonald's Fashions, visitors came in just to check out the building.
Man in the Moon owner Amy Lear said people would breeze through and talk about the spot where they'd brought their wedding gown, or to share memories of shopping with their mother. It's still a place full of memories of the longtime retailer that was a downtown staple for eight decades.

Meet 'Lunar Cruiser': Japan's big moon rover for astronauts gets a nickname | Space
We now know what to call the crewed lunar rover being developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Toyota.
The pressurized moon vehicle , which is expected to launch in the late 2020s, has been nicknamed "Lunar Cruiser," JAXA and Toyota representatives announced in an update last week.

The moniker, a nod to Toyota's Land Cruiser SUV, "was chosen because of the familiar feeling it offers the people involved in the development and manufacture of the vehicle prototype as part of the joint research project as well as the familiarity it will provide the general public," the update reads .

Can we agree there are few things that sound creepier than a full moon on Halloween? Of course, we mean "good" creepy.
This year, a blue moon will fall on Halloween -- and it's the first blue moon we'll experience since the last one on March 31, 2018.
A blue moon, in case you're wondering, isn't blue in color at all — unless you're talking about the other blue moon, which we'll fill you in on shortly. A blue moon, by the most popular definition, according to meteorologist Paul Gross, is when two full moons appear in a single month.

A mixed US employment report was not enough to interrupt dollar’s rally. EUR/USD battles to hold above 1.18, down some 200 pips from weekly highs. Wall Street’s free-fall adds pressure on the battered EUR.
