The Sturgeon Moon was a rare celestial event that occurred in August 2025, appearing on two consecutive evenings due to a "shortened moonrise delay." The next full moon, a blood moon, will occur on September 7, 2025, and will be a total lunar eclipse, visible across Europe, Asia, and Western Australia. The moon will reach its peak illumination at 2:09 PM Eastern Time, but will appear full the night before and after its peak.
In August 2025, a rare celestial event, known as the Sturgeon Moon, will captivate stargazers. The Sturgeon Moon, officially reaching its full moon phase at 3:55 a.m. ET on Saturday, August 9, will offer a unique opportunity for North American residents to witness the full moon rise twice in successive evenings [1]. This phenomenon occurs due to a "shortened moonrise delay," making it a special occurrence.The Sturgeon Moon, named for the abundance of sturgeon fish in the Great Lakes during late summer, is set to be followed by a rare multi-planet alignment. Beginning on August 10, up to six planets—Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—will align in the pre-dawn and late-night skies, offering a spectacular celestial display [2][3]. This alignment is expected to peak between August 18 and 23, with the most striking views occurring on the night of the New Moon on August 23.
The next notable lunar event will be the blood moon, which will occur on September 7, 2025, and will be a total lunar eclipse. The blood moon will be visible across Europe, Asia, and Western Australia. The moon will reach its peak illumination at 2:09 PM Eastern Time, but will appear full the night before and after its peak.
