TL;DR Summary

The Buck Moon, also known as a supermoon, will appear brighter and larger than usual in the sky for up to three days. This occurs when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit and in its full moon phase. The Buck Moon is named after the antlers of male deer, which are in full growth mode in July. The best time to see the supermoon in the UK will be earlier in the night, although visibility may be affected by clouds and rain. August's full Moon will be the only supermoon closer to Earth this year.
