The Sturgeon Moon, August's full moon, will reach peak illumination around 3:55 a.m. ET on Saturday. Visible for several days, it offers a spectacular sight away from city lights. This full moon coincides with three meteor showers (though likely obscured), and offers views of Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury. Future full moons include supermoons in October, November, and December, along with a total lunar eclipse on September 7-8 and a partial solar eclipse on September 21.
