How could we as Upper West Siders overlook August’s Sturgeon supermoon, which achieved fullness at 2:32 p.m. on Tuesday, August 1st? To the native Ojibwa people of the Great Lakes region, the sturgeon fish represents depth and strength. To New Yorkers of the Upper West Side neighborhood, it means a trip to Zabar’s, Murray’s or Barney Greengrass!

“A spectacular supermoon rising over Central Park inspired me to create two small mementos of its brilliance,” wrote reader Jeff Segall.

Don’t forget to look up — and send pictures.

I saw this bright, beautiful moon around 3 a.m. this morning. I got up to get a sip of water and walked into the living room, thinking I’d left a light on. It was the moon!!

In central New York, it was spectacular. Our daughter is visiting Salem, MA, and she took a beautiful moon rise over the water. I’m not sure how to share though

We live in Jersey City right on the Hudson River and sadly couldn’t see it!! People were waiting with cameras, but it never appeared. I guess it was too low in the East for us to see!
