If you missed last months supermoon, you have another chance.

This months full moon is Wednesday. At the same time, the moons orbit will bring it closer to Earth than usual. This cosmic combo is called a supermoon.

That can make the moon appear slightly bigger and brighter, weather permitting.

One name for Wednesdays full moon is the Buck moon a reference to the time of year when new antlers are growing on male deer, or bucks.
