The first of the month brought the first of two full supermoons that occur in August this year: The Full Sturgeon Moon.

While slightly larger and brighter due to the moon’s position towards Earth, Tuesday’s supermoon lit up the South Central Texas sky as it rose above the east-southeast horizon.

Check out some of the photos that KSAT viewers uploaded to KSAT Connect:
