Sturgeon Full Moon Aug 28, partial lunar eclipse expected

scienceAug 27, 202616160

The Sturgeon Full Moon peaks on Friday, August 28, reaching peak illumination at 12:18 a.m. Eastern Time, 06:18 Central European Time. A partial lunar eclipse will occur in the early hours of August 28 and may tint the full moon with an eerie reddish glow. Some forecasts note the possibility of rare red northern lights appearing alongside the reddened moon during the eclipse. The August full moon carries many traditional names across Indigenous and regional cultures, including Corn Moon, Ricing Moon, Black Cherries Moon, Mountain Shadows Moon, Flying Up Moon, and Harvest Moon. Observers with clear skies from parts of North America and Europe are being urged to look skyward during the predicted peak and eclipse window.

exceptional halftime report happening here in the Leagues Cup Quarterfinals "extreme close-up of the full moon over southern California" sure is bud

photo of a laptop screen showing halftime scores in the Columbus Crew and Club América Leagues Cup quarterfinals match, but instead of any soccer image it's a full frame shot of the full silvery moon, filling the whole screen

The 'Sturgeon Moon' is almost full and looking amazing tonight. Stars doing their thing too! The wind in the trees opposite sounds almost like sea waves. Lovely and calming! Highly recommend heading outside for a few minutes 😊

It will have to wait. It’s 3:00 pm, the sun is shining, no moon yet.

So jealous. You're from the future. (Time zone, that is)

Bit too cloudy here atm. Hoping it’ll be better when it’s peak Sturgeon Moon on Friday.

The Sturgeon Moon will crest on Friday, August 28, reaching peak illumination at 12:18 am ET, 06:18 CET. Other names include Corn Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe), Harvest Moon (Dakota), Ricing Moon (Anishinaabe), Black Cherries Moon (Assiniboine), Mountain Shadows Moon (Tlingit), Flying Up Moon (Cree).

The Sturgeon Moon appears this week.
Consider it a love letter from the universe to those who understand that we are not separate from nature. We are part of the same ancient rhythm that moves the tides, grows the forests, and pulls us toward something bigger than ourselves.

'Lunar eclipses occur when the Moon is full which will take place in the early hours of 28 August. It may cause the full Moon - nicknamed the Sturgeon Moon - to take on an eerie reddish glow.'
