There's another chance to catch a supermoon on Wednesday
Posted July 11, 2022 7:00 am
If you missed last month's supermoon, you have another chance.
This month's full moon is Wednesday. At the same time, the moon's orbit will bring it closer to Earth than usual. This cosmic combo is called a supermoon.
That can make the moon appear slightly bigger and brighter, weather permitting.
One name for Wednesday's full moon is the 'œBuck moon'ť - a reference to the time of year when new antlers are growing on male deer, or bucks.
The supermoon on June 14 was the 'œStrawberry moon'ť because it's the full moon at strawberry harvest time.
