Watch the sky if the weather is right. On the night of August 1-2, it’s the celestial spectacle of the Sturgeon Super Moon. A phenomenon that occurs four times a year, relays the HuffPost. A supermoon is a full moon that coincides with a minimum distance from the satellite to Earth. Being closer to Earth, the supermoon appears larger and brighter than the full moon.
Its name was given to it by Native American tribes because it matches the period of fishing for fish in the American Great Lakes. The summer period was conducive to fishing, especially sturgeon. Elsewhere in the world, it is called Moon of the harvest, or Moon of the dispute and Moon of the herbs. Two more Super Moons will be visible during the summer of 2023: the Super Blue Moon on August 31 and the Super Harvest Moon on September 20.
