July's full moon is also known as the “buck moon” and the “thunder moon.”
But some considered May’s full moon to be a supermoon and some are putting the August moon into the same classification, boosting the annual total to four.
Regardless of the number, based on its distance from the Earth at the time it turns full, the July 13 moon will be the closest one of the year — 222,089 miles away — making it the biggest and brightest full moon of 2022. The July full moon, commonly known as the "buck moon," will be glowing in the night sky this week. The moon will reach its fullest phase on Wednesday, July 13, 2022.The Native American Algonquin tribes in what is now the eastern region of the United States nicknamed this full moon the “buck moon,” according to NASA and the Old Farmer’s Almanac, because this time of year is when the new antlers of male deer — bucks — are in their full growth stage.
