Buck Moon, The First Supermoon Of 2023
The first supermoon of 2023, also known as ''buck moon'' is seen through the gaps in the branch of a neem tree at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 03/07/2023. The Moon appears brighter and 7 percent larger than its normal appearance. The tradition of naming full moons has its roots in Native American folklore, where tribes observed the lunar cycles and assigned names based on natural occurrences and seasonal markers. These names were used to track time, signify important events, and aid in agriculture and hunting. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
