Double the Stargazing Fun: August's Dual Supermoons Illuminate the Night Sky

August will feature a double dose of supermoons, with the first one appearing on August 2nd and the second on August 30th. The supermoons will be slightly brighter and bigger than usual due to their closer proximity to Earth. This rare occurrence of two full supermoons in the same month won't happen again until 2037. Astronomers recommend using binoculars or telescopes to observe lunar features such as lunar maria and crater rays. The August full moon is traditionally known as the sturgeon moon.
