The year's final supermoon graced the skies on August 12.
A supermoon is a full moon that appears larger and brighter in the night sky as it's closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit. This position is called perigee. The moon will not be full when it reaches perigee during the rest of 2022.
The August full moon was dubbed the Sturgeon moon by Native American tribes because it was considered a good time to catch sturgeon in the Great Lakes.
If you missed it, it will still be full tonight, Friday, for you to admire one of nature's glorious spectacles.
