The biggest and brightest full moon of the year – known as the Buck Moon – will be visible across the UK on Wednesday night.
Stargazers across the UK will be able to catch a glimpse of the year’s biggest and brightest supermoon on Wednesday night as the moon arrives at its closest point to the Earth in 2022.
Anna Ross, a planetarium astronomer at London’s Royal Museums Greenwich said: “The best time to view this supermoon will be any time during the night of the 13th July, when the moon will rise in the east just after sunset, and set in the west a little before sunrise.“This is a bright full moon [so] as long as the night is clear of clouds it will be easy to spot whether you are in a light-polluted city or a dark area of countryside.
Ross added: “The apparent difference between the size of the full moon at its closest and farthest points is only around 14% and, being that bit closer, it also overall appears to be around 30% brighter to us here on Earth.”
