What is a Supermoon?
A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, called perigee. This proximity makes the moon appear slightly larger and brighter than usual, creating a captivating visual experience.
The Significance of the August Full Moon
This final supermoon of the series carries a special significance. Known as the Sturgeon Moon by some Native American tribes, it signifies the time of year when sturgeon, a large freshwater fish, were plentiful in the Great Lakes.
The August full moon also holds cultural and spiritual significance across different cultures. It is often associated with harvest, abundance, and growth, marking a time for reflection and gratitude.
How to Witness the Supermoon
The best time to view the supermoon is when it's highest in the sky - around midnight. Find a location with minimal light pollution, like a park or open field, and let your eyes adjust to the darkness.
Even if you miss the exact moment of the full moon, you can still enjoy its brilliance for a few days before and after the designated date.
Capture the Moment
Whether you're a seasoned photographer or simply want to document this celestial event, make sure to grab your camera or phone and capture the supermoon's majestic glow.
