If you missed last month�s supermoon, you have another chance.

This month�s full moon is Wednesday. At the same time, the moon�s 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 Wednesday�s full moon is the �Buck moon� � a reference to the time of year when new antlers are growing on male deer, or bucks.

The supermoon on June 14 was the �Strawberry moon� because it�s the full moon at strawberry harvest time.
