Explanation:
On July 4, an almost Full Moon rose
in planet Earth's
evening skies.
Also known as a Buck Moon, the full lunar phase
(full on July 3
at 11:39 UTC) was near perigee,
the closest point in the Moon's
almost monthly orbit around planet Earth.
That qualified
this July's Full Moon as a supermoon,
the first of
four supermoons
in 2023.
Seen from Cocoa Beach along Florida's
Space Coast on July 4,
any big, bright, beautiful Full Moon would still
have to compete for attention though.
July's super-moonrise was captured here
against a super-colorful fireworks display.
