Full moon

The "sturgeon moon" of August will be shining in the sky this week but will likely dampen the view of the Perseid meteor shower.

The August moon will officially reach its fullest phase at night — at 9:35 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time Thursday, Aug. 11, in the New York City region. The most common nickname of the August full moon is the “ sturgeon moon,” but some people call it the “ green corn moon” and the “grain moon,” according to the Farmers’ Almanac and the Old Farmer’s Almanac. As a result, the bright moonlight will cut down on the number of meteors that will be visible, experts say. Others say it will be just an ordinary full moon. Regardless of its classification, however, the August moon will officially be turning full Thursday night, Aug. 11, and will also be 100% full when it rises in the sky Friday night, Aug. 12. The full “sturgeon” moon of August 2022 will be glowing in the night sky this week, and it might be another big and bright supermoon, according to some astronomy experts.

The Aquarius full Moon reminds you of your value to others, and how you can make a difference to people's lives when you shift your priorities. "Your ruling planet, Neptune, is retrograde in your sign during the Aquarius full Moon, putting your own desires on the back burner. "During the period of this full Moon, your ruling planet, communicative Mercury is in your own sign, Virgo, which means plans made today will be carried out easily. The full Moon is a little space just for you. She says: "You're always on the go, Aries, and so you sometimes miss the opportunity to look around you and check if someone is in distress or if someone is reaching out. This Aquarius full Moon will see you needing alone time, to reflect and plan ahead." The full Moon in your sign reminds you that your own space deserves to be honoured too. Interestingly, it is the fourth Supermoon in a row, following July's Buck moon, June's Strawberry moon, and May's Flower Moon. The Sturgeon Moon is also the final Supermoon of 2022." The message of the Sturgeon Moon is to carry on. The enormous fish can live to over 100 years old and can grow to over a ton in weight. It will peak after midnight in the UK, so the official full Moon date is the 12th. This effect is amplified further when the Moon is still low on the horizon, thanks to the Moon illusion.

This point is called the perigee. But when exactly can you see the Sturgeon Moon? Why is it called this? When the Moon reaches perigee at the same time as a full Moon occurs in the lunar cycle, the Moon looms larger in the sky and we get a supermoon.

The last supermoon of the year, also known as the Sturgeon Moon, happens Thursday night and coincides with the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.

July's full moon was also a supermoon, the brightest of the year and Augusts's supermoon caps off four for the year. According to NASA, the full moon will appear 7 degrees above the east-southeast horizon as evening twilight ends at 9:11 p.m. Eastern time. Chicago and Seattle will have a nice view of the Sturgeon supermoon. The peak this year, when the most meteors will shoot across the sky, is expected to be Aug. 11 to 13. "Sadly, this year’s Perseids peak will see the worst possible circumstances for spotters," NASA astronomer Bill Cooke said in a post. The bright full moon will likely hinder those hoping to catch a glimpse of the meteor shower.

They are often English interpretations of words used in Indigenous languages.

It allows you to not only increase the size of the moon in the frame but to get all the detail within it while keeping the image as sharp as possible.
