What Secrets Does the Sturgeon Moon Hold?
from GREY Journal Daily News Podcast
The August 2025 Sturgeon Moon will reach peak illumination on August 9 at 3:55 a.m. Eastern Time, coinciding with the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks August 12-13. The Sturgeon Moon is named after lake sturgeon that were once abundant in the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. Conservation efforts have helped restore lake sturgeon populations, and they are not currently listed under the Endangered Species Act. The brightness of the full moon is expected to reduce visibility of the Perseid meteors this year. NASA recommends the Geminids meteor shower in December for better meteor viewing.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.
