August celebrates two “supermoons.” The first – the Sturgeon Moon – appeared over the mountains south of Princeton August 1 and was captured by well-known local shutterbug John Moody. According to the Farmer’s Almanac the Sturgeon Moon is so named to honour the giant Sturgeon fish, which can be traced back 132 million years and is sometimes called ‘the fossil fish.’ On August 30 stargazers will be treated to the second supermoon, the Blue Moon.
