The clouds and a field of tall corn prevented me from getting a photo of the first supermoon of the month, the Full Sturgeon Moon, when it was rising tonight. The clouds also covered part of this moon photo taken years ago. August’s full moon is traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon because the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes traditionally caught during this month. Other names for the August full moon are Black Cherries Moon, Flying Up Moon, Harvest Moon, Mountain Shadows Moon, Ricing Moon and Corn Moon.
