Explanation: On July 4, an almost Full Moon rose in planet Earth's evening skies. Also known as a Buck Moon, the full lunar phase (full on July 3 at 11:39 UTC) was near perigee, the closest point in the Moon's almost monthly orbit around planet Earth. That qualified this July's Full Moon as a supermoon, the first of four supermoons in 2023. Seen from Cocoa Beach along Florida's Space Coast on July 4, any big, bright, beautiful Full Moon would still have to compete for attention though. July's super-moonrise was captured here against a super-colorful fireworks display.

Super moon? I don’t know if I would go that far. It’s an alright moon. Pretty good moon, that’s what I’d call it.

I hope they don’t contaminate all that cheese with firework chemicals.

NASA posts one picture per day on their APOD site. I just post their photo, I don’t do any choosing.
