Tonight’s sturgeon supermoon could have you dancing in the moonlight — the type that only happens three to four times per year.
Named by the Native American Algonquin tribe after sturgeon fish that were more easily caught in the Great Lakes and other bodies of water during this time of year, the sturgeon moon ends 2022’s series of four supermoons, which began in May, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
After sunset, look toward the southeast to watch this supermoon rise.
It will reach peak illumination at 9:36 p.m. ET Thursday.
“At certain times of the year, the moon is at its closest point to Earth and these are called supermoons,” said Mike Hankey, operations manager for the American Meteor Society, via email. “It’s just a natural point of the moon’s orbit.” (CNN)
Enjoy one of the wonders of our world tonight!
