AUGUST FULL MOON - STURGEON MOON
The name Sturgeon Moon comes from the giant lake sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain; this native freshwater fish was readily caught during this part of summer and an important food staple for Native Americans who lived in the region. At one time, the lake sturgeon were quite abundant in late summer.
The word “sturgeon” means “the stirrer,” which is what this giant fish does when it is looking for food; it stirs up the mud and silt on river and lake bottoms. Notice the pointed snout and whisker-like tactile organs near the mouth.
Corn Moon (Algonquin, Ojibwe), Harvest Moon (Dakota), and Ricing Moon (Anishinaabe) signify that this is the time to gather maturing crops. Along the same vein, the Assiniboine people named this period Black Cherries Moon, referring to when chokecherries become ripe.

The Tlingit people of the Pacific Northwest traditionally called this time of the season the Mountain Shadows Moon.

On August 27/28, 2026, a partial lunar eclipse will be visible from Greenland down through the Americas and from Africa up through Europe. This will be a deep partial eclipse which starts at 20:38 CDT and ends at 02:01 CDT. The entirety of the eclipse is visible for the eastern half of North America and those in the west will see the partial eclipse underway when the Moon rises. No equipment is necessary to observe the eclipse however binoculars and telescopes can enhance the experience.

An eclipse is a type of syzygy involving the Sun, Earth and Moon. While the Sun, Earth and Moon reach syzygy twice every month at new and full moon, the alignment is not always precise enough to produce an eclipse. Solar and lunar eclipses occur when the Moon is seen at a crossing node which is when it appears to cross Earth’s ecliptic. The Moon goes through its two crossing nodes every 27.2 days in what is called a draconic month. Due to this being shorter than the moon phase cycle (synodic), the crossing nodes usually do not line up with new and full moons.
