August features two supermoons<\/a> this year, including a blue moon. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n NASA says that the full sturgeon moon rises in the east just 30 minutes after sunset on the first day of the month. <\/p>\n It will reach its peak at 2:32 p.m. ET, according to The Farmers’ Almanac. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is named the sturgeon moon for the time of year when the large fish were abundant in the Great Lakes.
