THE STURGEON SUPERMOON: WHEN TO SEE IT
The term “supermoon” is defined as either a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90% of perigee, its closest approach to Earth.
The sturgeon moon was forecast to impact the visibility of the annual Perseid meteor shower, which peaked Friday and Saturday.
