A rare ‘Sturgeon Moon’ lit up skies across the world on Saturday, as photographers and astrologers alike took to social media to share their best snaps.
‘Sturgeon’ is the name given to the August full moon – which will be the last full one of summer 2025.
The name comes from the giant sturgeon fish, which were once more abundant at this time of year in northeastern America.
