Also known as the corn and harvest moon, the August full moon is set to rise later this month, but there will be a number of other sky-gazing opportunities before then.
There are many different species of sturgeon. Some live in freshwater lakes of North America, while others live in the ocean and ascend rivers to spawn.
The fish are currently listed as either threatened or endangered in 19 of the 20 U.S. states they inhabit because overfishing has decimated their populations over the years. However, conservation efforts have seen populations beginning to increase in recent years, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service., other names for the August full moon include the corn moon, which has links back to Algonquin and Ojibwe sources, and the harvest moon, a Dakota term.
Some may already have set up their backyard telescopes for a look at Saturn, which was at its closest and brightest from our perspective on Earth for the year early on Monday morning EDT., said those with a telescope and clear skies should have been able to see the rings of Saturn., which has been active since mid-July. However, the shower is expected to reach its peak activity around August 12.
Afterwards, on August 19, Jupiter will appear at its closest and brightest for the year from Earth, rising around sunset and setting around sunrise according to Johnston.
