"Double the Supermoon Delight: How to Witness August's Rare Celestial Phenomenon"

August will feature two supermoons, with the Full Sturgeon Moon rising on August 1 and the Full Blue Moon on August 30. A supermoon occurs when a full moon appears at perigee, making it appear larger and brighter. This month's blue moon is also a supermoon, a rare occurrence that last happened in 2018 and won't happen again until 2037. To see the Full Sturgeon supermoon in Southern California, find a dark and open location away from light pollution, and consider using binoculars or a telescope for a closer look.
