Behold... the Buck Supermoon!
The next full Moon will appear on Wednesday afternoon, July 13, 2022.
According to the Maine Farmer's Almanac, the Algonquin tribes of what is now the northeastern United States called this the Buck Moon. Early summer is normally when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur.
Since the peak of this full Moon is less than 10 hours after the Moon was closest to the Earth in its orbit, this will be a supermoon. The term "supermoon" was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 and refers to either a new or full Moon that occurs when the Moon is within 90% of perigee, its closest approach to Earth.
