Full Moon

Thursday, August 27, 2026 

Full moon this morning. Woke up this morning around 4:00. Not because I wanted to but because I couldn't sleep. Took the above photo of the full moon around 4:30.

Same view out the porch door but without the flash. In the Central Time  Zone the moon is actually full tonight at 11:18 pm.  

From the Old Farmer's Almanac: "The name Sturgeon Moon comes from the giant lake sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain; this native freshwater fish was readily caught during this part of summer and an important food staple for Native Americans who lived in the region. At one time, the lake sturgeon were quite abundant in late summer, though they are rarer today."
