2024 will have four consecutive supermoons, starting with the Sturgeon moon on August 19.

2024 will witness a rare astronomical event where four consecutive supermoons, starting with the Sturgeon moon on August 19, will occur. This phenomenon happens when the full moon coincides with the moon being at or near its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit. In Texas, the supermoon will be visible starting at 1:28 p.m. on August 19, appearing larger and brighter than usual. The sequence will continue with supermoons in September, October, and November.
