An exciting skywatching opportunity begins tomorrow! 🌝
July's full moon — nicknamed the Buck Moon — will charge across Earth's skies on Wednesday, July 13. The moon will reach its peak at about 2:38 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, but the Buck doesn't stop here; the moon will appear bright and full on Tuesday and Thursday night , as well.
Avid skywatchers may notice that the moon looks even larger and brighter than normal. That's because, for the third month in a row, the full moon will rise as a supermoon — or a full moon that occurs while the moon is around or at its closest point to Earth, also known as its perigee. This month, the moon reaches perigee at about 5 a.m. EDT on July 13, just 10 hours before the full moon rises.
