All full moons of the year have been named by the Native American tribes, who marked the seasonal changes as per the moon phases. The Sturgeon Moon gets its name because, during this time of the year, there were a lot of sturgeon fish found in the lakes. During a supermoon occurrence, the moon orbits closer to the Earth than usual, thus appearing more bigger and brighter on this day. The other names of this moon are Harvest Moon, Corn Moon and Black Cherries Moon. Supermoon 2023 in August Dates and Time: Full Sturgeon Moon and Blue Supermoon, Everything To Know About Rare Celestial Events This Month.
