Right across the planet, stargazers are in for a treat because for the next few nights, the year’s biggest and brightest supermoon will light up the sky.
Supermoons are bigger and brighter than regular full moons due to the proximity to earth and its low position in the sky.
The July full 'Buck Moon' began Wednesday and reached its peak illumination at 2:38 pm. eastern time according to 'The Old Farmer's Almanac.'
"The full Moon in July is called the Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time. Bucks shed and regrow their antlers each year, producing a larger and more impressive set as the years go by," the Almanac said.
A timelapse video was taken right outside the CTV News studio in Sudbury, showing the moon's movement across the sky overnight Wednesday.
The last supermoon of the year will show up on Aug. 11.
