After a series of public holidays and festive seasons that are filled with fireworks, we’ve just found another reason for you to look up at the sky!
On July 13, a supermoon will be upon us and it will be the BIGGEST full moon of the year.
If you’re wondering what’s so special about this supermoon, here’s why:
- This supermoon is called buck moon and it got its name from the Native Americans back in the 1930s
- It will orbit closest to Earth as compared to other full moons this year
- The ‘viewing size’ is 14% larger than the previous supermoon
- You DON’T NEED binoculars or a telescope to be able to view this beautiful phenomenon
- This next supermoon will appear on August 11!
