A Supermoon is set to illuminate the night skies in Ireland this week and here's everything you need to know about it.
Dubliners can catch a glimpse of the Full Buck Moon on Wednesday, July 15 and will be at its brightest at 7.38pm Irish Standard Time. It will appear below the horizon so moon-gazers have been told to look towards the southeast after sunset to watch it rise.
This month's Full Buck Moon will be the "biggest and brightest" Supermoon of the year as it will be 222,089.3 miles (357,418 km) from Earth at its nearest points so it just edges out June’s Strawberry Moon by 200km, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
