The blue sturgeon supermoon is a rare event as it marks the third full moon of an astronomical season with four full moons, occurring in August.
August's full moon, known as the 'sturgeon moon,' was named by Algonquin tribes due to the increased catch of large fish at this time.
This year's blue sturgeon supermoon appears about 10 percent larger than average, although casual observers may not readily notice the size difference.
Despite the small size difference, photographers worldwide took incredible images of the blue sturgeon supermoon, showcasing this unique astronomical phenomenon.
