August's full moon peaks around 9:36 p.m. EDT on Thursday (0136 a.m. GMT on Friday).
As summer slips into autumn and nights begin to grow longer, the final supermoon of the year will make a big splash Thursday .
Most publications consider this a supermoon, meaning the full moon occurs while the moon is nearest its closest point to Earth, also known as perigee, during the current orbit. The Sturgeon Moon will appear within 90% of perigee, making it a supermoon by most scientific definitions. Supermoons can appear larger and up to 16% brighter in the sky than the average full moon, according to timeanddate.com.
