Why is it called a July Buck Moon?
"The full Moon in July is called the Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time," as The Old Farmer's Almanac says. "Bucks shed and regrow their antlers each year, producing a larger and more impressive set as the years go by."
“Supermoons by definition happen ‘when a full moon coincides with the Moon's closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, a point known as perigee,’ according to NASA.”
How do I find out what time to view this supermoon? "The best times to view the buck moon will be at moonrise and moonset. You can find your local times for those here".
