Stargazers are in for a treat tonight as the Buck Supermoon is expected to light up the night skies.
The full moon in July is also known as the Buck Moon because male deer shed and regrow their antlers around this time of year. It’s the first full Moon of astronomical summer and the second supermoon of the year.
A supermoon is the result of a full moon occurring when it is near its closest point to the Earth in its orbit. This can happen because the moon orbits the Earth on an elliptical path, rather than a circular one.
