Grab your cameras! 📸🌕 In just a few days, July’s full supermoon — known as the Buck Moon — will be the brightest of the year.
It’s known as the Full Buck Supermoon, and you won’t be able to miss it. You’ll see the large moon for several nights next week.
This particular full moon is named after the new antlers that emerge from a buck’s forehead around this time of the year. It is also called Thunder Moon, Hay Moon and Wyrt Moon.The whole phenomenon has to do with the moon’s orbit being the closest to Earth while the moon is full.On Wednesday, July 13, at 5:06 a.m. EDT, the moon will be at perigee — its closest to Earth during its orbit.
According to NASA, the moon will appear full for three days between Tuesday and Friday morning, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy it.
