The Last Supermoon This Year, The Sturgeon Moon, Rises Tonight After Sunset

Look up tonight after sunset for the full supermoon rising.   It is called the Sturgeon Moon as this is the time of year when sturgeon are most likely to be caught.  It will peak 9:36pm EDT.

Other names for the August full moon.

Flying Up Moon is a Cree term describing the time when young birds are finally ready to take the leap and learn to fly.

Corn Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe), Harvest Moon (Dakota), and Ricing Moon (Anishinaabe) signify that this is the time to gather maturing crops. Along the same vein, the Assiniboine people named this period Black Cherries Moon, referring to when chokecherries become ripe.

This will be the last supermoon until August 2023.
