The Buck Moon dominated the summer sky this week as the month moved towards its midpoint, waxing full on Wednesday, July 13. Known alternately as the Berry, the Salmon Moon and a variety of other descriptors, these lyrical names date back to the indigenous people of the northern and eastern United States, who tracked the season by giving a distinctive label to each reoccurring full moon. Some of these were practical descriptions of seasonal activities, while others were more weather-based.
By any name, July’s was a showstopper, the biggest and brightest supermoon of 2022. A supermoon occurs when the full moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth in its orbit.
