What the hell is a Sturgeon Moon?

[WSUCougar]

I've never heard the term. Whatever it is, we've got one tonight.

You'll notice it's not a colossal sturgeon moon...

[SteelerFan448]

I noticed the moon was orange when it was low in the sky, maybe that's what it means?

Maybe they meant Spurgeon Wynn?

• Full Sturgeon Moon The fishing tribes are given credit for the naming of this Moon, since sturgeon, a large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, were most readily caught during this month. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because, as the Moon rises, it appears reddish through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.

I got this from here (http://www.farmersalmanac.com/astronomy/moonnames.html)
