from WPTF Afternoon News
The "Sturgeon Moon" is the name for the full moon that occurs in August. This name is historically linked to the time when sturgeon fish were most readily caught, particularly in the Great Lakes region. It also marks the start of the harvesting season for some cultures. What does a Sturgeon Moon look like? Amy Sayle from the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss what to look out for in the skies this month.
