No. No calendar month in 2008 has two Full Moons in US Eastern time.
When Is the Harvest Moon in 2008?
The Harvest Moon, the Full Moon nearest the September equinox, is on September 15, 2008 at 5:14 AM ET (09:14 UTC), in Pisces.
Where Do the Full Moon Names Come From?
The names (Wolf, Snow, Worm, Pink, Flower, Strawberry, Buck, Sturgeon, Corn, Hunter's, Beaver and Cold) are traditional North American names popularized by farmers' almanacs. They belong to the month, not to the zodiac sign the Moon is in.
Why Do Some Calendars List a Different Date?
Most astrology sites print a single date without a time zone. An ingress at 10:49 PM in New York is already the next day in London and Sydney, so two correct sources can disagree by a day. Selfgazer gives every time in both US Eastern time and UTC, and the tables switch to your own time zone in the browser.
