The moon illuminated the sky as it rose over the Russian Foreign Ministry building in Moscow, RussiaThe Moon has left people gazing up at the sky after appearing brighter and larger than usual on Monday evening.Known as a Buck Moon, it is closer than normal in its orbit around the Earth.
This is because the Moon's orbit is not a perfect circle due to the Earth's gravitational pull; instead it is elliptical, like an elongated circle or oval. Because of this, there are times in the Moon's 27.32-day orbit when it is closer to the Earth and other times when it is further away. A supermoon happens when the Moon is at the closest point to Earth in its orbit and also in its full Moon phase.
The full Moon in July was given the Native American name of Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer are in full growth mode in July, according to the Royal Observatory. Bucks shed and regrow their antlers.The Almanac, which has published astronomical data for centuries, said the Buck Moon would orbit closer to the Earth than full Moons we have already had this year.
