Buck Moon 2025: Orange orb shines over East Midlands
A supermoon put on a super display for the East Midlands night saw a Buck Moon rise - and photographers across the region were out to see Buck Moon gets its name because traditionally July is the time when a buck - or male deer - grows its full orange-hued lunar display peaked as darkness fell at about 21:40 BST.
The Buck Moon, known as a Thunder Moon in the US, is a type of supermoon - which is when the Moon is closest to Earth and fully lit up in the night colour changes as it rises up through the night sky, changing its position to the viewer through the atmosphere.
