The first full moon of August is called the "sturgeon moon." Native Americans gave it this name as August is considered the best time for catching sturgeon in the Great Lakes.
On August 3, people around the world had the opportunity to witness the first of two August supermoons, creating a breathtaking spectacle over cities worldwide.
A supermoon occurs when the full moon is closer to the Earth than usual, resulting in a slightly brighter and larger appearance.
The second full moon of the month, known as the "blue moon," is expected to be even closer to Earth on the night of August 30, and this rare phenomenon will not recur until 2037.
