Leonid Meteor in Spruce Creek, Pennsylvania.

Leonid meteors are the dusty debris left in the wake of the sun-orbiting comet Tempel-Tuttle. Observers get treated to a Leonid shower every November when the Earth cuts through this wake, but the potential for another mind-boggling meteor storm comes roughly every 33 years, when Earth passes through a particularly dense patch of the comet’s space dust.

The last supermoon of the year known as the "Sturgeon Moon" in Olney, Maryland.

August’s full Sturgeon Moon reaches its peak on Thursday, August 11, 2022. It will be the last supermoon of the year! Supermoons are commonly defined as full Moons that occur while the Moon is at its nearest point to Earth. (Because its orbit is not a perfect circle, the Moon’s distance from Earth changes throughout the month.) Supermoons are ever-so-slightly closer to Earth than the average full Moon, which technically makes them extra large and bright from Earth’s perspective.

August’s full Moon was traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon because the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this part of summer.

"Tim was great. He explained what he was doing and allow us to view his display of the drone's camera. Tim got great photos and videos of the hospital. He provided links to the images that day and gave us USB drives a few days later. A very professional job."
