Supermoon 2023: ‘Sturgeon Moon’

According to the American space agency NASA, the phenomenon occurs when the Moon's orbit is closest (known as perigee) to Earth at the same time the Moon is full. ''On Tuesday, the moon will be 357,530 km away from Earth.'' According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the August full moon is traditionally known as the sturgeon moon. The moon is peeking through the clouds due to the north Bay of Bengal (BoB) low pressure at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 01/08/2023. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
