This month’s supermoon will be the last of 2022. When is the sturgeon supermoon and what is the best time to see it?

The last month of winter is here in the southern hemisphere and with it brings another lunar event: the sturgeon supermoon.

This fishy Moon will be the last in a series of supermoons that Australia has seen over the past four months.

In fact, Friday's sturgeon Moon marks the last time Australians will see a supermoon until 2023.

The month's supermoon will be visible from Thursday evening and at its peak on Friday, August 12, at 11:35am AEST.

Its peak is when the moon will be at its fullest, but don't be put off by its mid-morning debut: The supermoon will still be shining as the sun sets on Australia.
