In Photos: Spectacular supermoon embellishes skies worldwide
The third supermoon of 2022 rose on Wednesday.
It's also known as a buck moon because it falls in July. The name doesn't come from its appearance — you won't see the shape of a buck on the moon's surface or anything. Instead, it refers to something that's happening in nature.
Here’s a glimpse at how the super moon appeared across the world:
