August’s 'Sturgeon Moon' arrives with a sky full of sights. Look for bright meteors during the Perseids and spot Jupiter and Venus before dawn

In a rare skywatching treat, you can see August's full Sturgeon Moon rise soon after sunset on both Saturday, Aug. 9 and Sunday, Aug. 10.

This year, the sturgeon moon falls in Aquarius, an air sign and the 11th sign of the zodiac. It's opposite Leo, a fire sign. "This means that both zodiac signs hold ties to our passions, sense of expression, aspirations and how we connect to others whether that is in love or friendship, " Thomas said.
