August's spectacular full moon, known as the Sturgeon Moon, will peak on 12th August 2022. Set your alarms, because the best time to see the full moon in the UK is at 2.36am.

Known as the Grain Moon, Red Moon and Green Corn Moon in the UK, August's full Moon is famous for its red hue which it often takes on in the summer haze — and it's set to be spectacular.

"For best viewing, try to get somewhere with a clear horizon, elevated if possible, and as isolated as you can from artificial light sources. While you're waiting, try and spot Jupiter and Saturn towards the south as the moon is rising," Edward Bloomer, RGM Astronomer, tells Country Living.

The moon's name derives from America's largest freshwater fish, the lake sturgeon. While they used to thrive, sturgeon fish are now one of the most critically endangered species. Legend has it that, during August's full moon, you can still catch a glimpse of a sturgeon fish in America's lakes.

Some of the moon's other names include the Grain Moon, Green Corn Moon, Fruit Moon and Barley Moon, all of which are inspired by various crops that can be harvested in August.

"The August full moon has a number of traditional names; “Sturgeon Moon” being popular, but Grain, Green and Fruit being others (around this time of the year, the names are often related to harvestable crops)," Edward explains.
