On Wednesday, July 13, 2022, the closest Full Supermoon to appear in our night sky this year was approximately 222,089 miles (or 357,418 km) from the Earth.
The July full moon is also know as the Full Buck Moon in
North America because of this is about the time that male deer's antlers
are in full growth according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
Tonight's supermoon -- also known as the Full Buck Supermoon -- was the third of four that will appear in the night sky throughout the summer months this year.
The following are the photos I took of the Full Buck Supermoon.
The first one is the close up of the Full Supermoon with all the features of the Man On The Moon clearly visible to the naked eye. In the second photo you can see that the moon does not appear closer on visual inspection.
The moonlight in the somewhat cloudy sky -- it had been raining earlier and I was worried I wouldn't be able to take a proper photo -- does reflect the light beautifully in almost a rainbow colored pattern. Nearby is the bright star, Altair, the brightest star in the Constellation Aquila the Eagle and the twelfth-brightest star in our night sky.
