Across the world, the night sky is set to be illuminated by July’s “buck” moon.
The seventh month’s full moon, which gets its name from the fact that male deer grow out their antlers at the time, will first appear Tuesday morning and extend into early Friday, according to a report citing NASA.
The buck moon will be at its peak come Wednesday around 2:48 p.m. However, full visibility for those in North America will occur at moonrise.

For those who do see the buck moon, it will likely appear brighter and larger than any other moon this year, the report noted.
A buck moon is a supermoon, according to the report, meaning a full moon within 90% of its nearest orbit to Earth.
Americans in the Midwest, Great Plains, and on the West Coast will have the clearest view of the buck moon.
“Unlike some astronomical events, there’s not [a situation where] you’ve got to look at it this instant or else you miss it,” said Noah Petro, chief of NASA’s Planetary Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry Lab.

“There’s really no moment that you have to be looking at it to maximize your enjoyment of the full moon. If it’s cloudy and you don’t want to be outside, just go one of the next nights.”
