The Sturgeon Moon Rises Behind the Temple of Poseidon in Greece: The Video Is Spectacular

A full moon, known as the "Sturgeon Moon," rose behind the ancient Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion near Athens yesterday, Saturday, August 9th, marking the last full moon of the summer. The Old Farmer's Almanac cites names given to moons by Native American groups, usually depicting natural events or wildlife. It is named after the large sturgeon fished in North American lakes during the summer.

Supermoons are full moons that come closer to Earth's orbit, making them appear larger and brighter.
