A supermoon is a full moon that appears to be bigger than usual because it’s at its closest point to Earth in a given orbit, and New Yorkers got to take in the magical “Buck Moon” last night. It’s name is derived from male deers’ (bucks’) antlers growing to their fullest around this time of year before being shed.
What was so special about last night’s celestial event was that the moon was at its closest proximity to the Earth out of any moon to occur in 2022, making it the biggest and brightest of the year!
Although last night after sunset was your best chance to catch it, you can still view the supermoon through today.
