In July, it was Buck moon, the biggest supermoon of 2022 that thrilled the sky watchers. In August, there is another celestial marvel that will amaze them equally, maybe even moreIt is the fourth and final supermoon of the year, called "Sturgeon Moon", after the Flower Moon of February, Strawberry Moon of June, and Buck Moon of July. The Sturgeon Moon of August will be the final supermoon of 2022 and it will enchant astronomers and commoners alike on Thursday, August 11. A supermoon occurs when "it is a full moon that occurs at a time when it is at the closest distance to the closest point of the moon to Earth in its orbit".
This point is called perigee. Supermoons appear bigger and brighter than the average full moons and they can appear up to 16 percent brighter in the night sky.
Opposite the perigee, the moon which is at the farthest point, the apogee, is called a micro moon, opposite to super moon.
