Stargazers are in for a delightful sight tonight, as a super moon is predicted to be rearing its head in the UK this evening
.
On July 3, the moon will rise late, at 10.14pm in the UK, and the Buck super moon will appear in the constellation of Sagittarius - meaning the southeast. The Earth's moon orbits the globe on an elliptical shape - which means that it will be closer to the surface at some times than others. A full Moon during perigee will appear 14 per cent larger and 30 per cent brighter than a full moon when it is at its furthest away. A super moon is also around seven per cent larger and 15 per cent brighter than the average full moon.
What is the Buck super moon? July's full moon is commonly known as the Buck Moon as male deer regrow their antlers at this time of year - giving it its 'Buck' name.
