The Moon looks bigger and brighter than usual. For the third month in a row, the full moon will be a super moon, meaning it will occur when the moon is close to Earth. The full moon will rise just 10 hours before the moon reaches perigee.
According to timeanddate.com, a super moon can be up to 16 percent brighter than a full moon. June's strawberry moon and May's flower moon both had a total lunar eclipse. According to the Farmer's Almanac, the last super moon of the year will be in August.
There are Moon names that are flowery. Native American names for the full moons were published in the Maine Farmer's Almanac. The July full moon is called the Buck Moon because it's usually when young bucks start to grow their first antlers. The Moon's name is now used by modern cultures.
The July full moon is also known as the thunder moon because of the frequent storms that hit early in the summer.
A full moon occurs about once a month when the Sun, Earth and Moon align. The sun's rays can illuminate the side facing Earth if the Moon's position is higher or lower than Earth's.
