The next supermoon – the last of the year – will rise on Thursday night. 

The sturgeon moon will appear opposite the sun in Earth-based longitude at 9:36 p.m. ET, according to NASA. 

The rising moon will appear 7 degrees above the east-southeastern horizon. 

The agency said that the moon will appear full for about three days from Wednesday through Saturday morning. 

THE YEAR'S LAST SUPERMOON WILL TAKE PLACE ON AUG. 11, 2022

Saturn, which will appear near the supermoon, will be near its brightest for the year.

The moon's light will interfere with the Perseid meteor shower, which is expected to peak on Friday and Saturday.

This is the third-closest full moon of the year.

According to the Maine Farmer's Almanac, the Algonquin tribes called this the sturgeon moon because of the large fish that were more easily caught this time of year in the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water. 

This moon is also called the green corn moon.
