Super Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius 2023: A Fishy Delight in the Night

A Supermoon occurs approximately three to four times each year when the full moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, making it appear about 7% larger and brighter than an average full moon. This August, we'll witness the Super Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius.

The term "Sturgeon Moon" is derived from the August full moon's association with the time when sturgeons were most commonly caught, particularly in the Great Lakes, hence the fishy nickname.

In addition to being called the Sturgeon Moon, August's full moon also goes by other names such as Harvest Moon, Corn Moon, and Ricing Moon. So, be sure to keep a camera ready to capture the magnificence of this larger-than-usual lunar spectacle!
