TL;DR Summary

The first supermoon of the year, known as the "Buck Moon," illuminated the night sky over San Diego. The supermoon appeared bigger and brighter due to its close proximity to Earth during its orbit. NASA defines a supermoon as a full moon occurring when the moon is within 90% of its perigee, making it appear about 17% bigger and 20% brighter. There will be three more supermoons this year, with the next one expected on August 2. The second supermoon in August will be a "blue moon," marking the biggest and brightest full moon of the year.
