Worth knowing
Where does the name ‘Sturgeon Moon"?
Sturgeon Moon (English Sturgeon Moon) is a traditional full moon name associated with August. Associated with summer sturgeon fishing in North American lakes and rivers. This is a culturalname, not an astronomical one - popularised by the American Farmers’ Almanac.
Full moon in August 2022 occurs on 12 August at 03:36 Polish local time (CEST), when the disc is illuminated by almost 100%. The Moon rises around dusk and shines almost all night - in summer it shines briefly because the nights are shortest. A good time for observing the Moon, but also a night when bright light may make falling asleep harder.
Prepare your sleep for a bright night
- Dim bright bedroom lights an hour before bed.
- Cover your windows to keep outside light out.
- Limit blue light from screens in the evening - evening glasses can help.
- If you cannot darken the room fully, an eye mask can help.
