A notable event is approaching in the night sky. The full moon of August is also known as the "Sturgeon Moon", named after a type of prehistoric-looking fish. This month's full moon is special because it will be partially eclipsed by Earth's shadow.

The eclipse will cause the moon to take on a reddish hue. This phenomenon is sometimes called a "blood moon". The timing of the eclipse's peak is given, but details about viewing it may vary.
