Sturgeon Moon 2018
The Sturgeon is a big, prehistoric fish that is rather common to the Great Lakes. Native American fishing tribes, like the Algonquin, are credited with naming August’s full moon. It is also known as a Red Moon due to August heat and hazy days, giving the moon a red tint.
Other names:
Green Corn Moon
Grain moon
100% full illumination occurred at 07:56am EDT.
Howl for me…
