The fourth and last supermoon of the year, the Sturgeon moon, will occur Thursday.

The fourth and last supermoon of the year, the Sturgeon moon, will occur Thursday.

Named after the fish, the Sturgeon moon will coincide with the near peak of the Perseid meteor shower, which has been ongoing since July 14.

"Perseids are one of the most plentiful showers (50-100 meteors seen per hour)," according to NASA, and the bright moon could lessen their visibility.

But people will be in for a treat anyway.
