‘Buck Moon’ dazzles skies around the world. When to watch the next supermoon

Did the moon look much bigger and brighter than normal to you Monday night? You’re not alone.

Dazzling images from around the world captured the first supermoon of the year, called the “Buck Moon,” which rose on Monday morning and reached its peak illumination at 7:39 am ET.

A supermoon is a term describing a full moon that occurs when it is within 90 per cent of its closest point to Earth. The “Buck Moon” got as close as 361,934 kilometres from the Earth.

If you didn’t get a chance to catch it yet, it will be visible and appear full until Tuesday evening, according to NASA.
