Here’s everything you need to know about the celestial event in Leeds

July is here and that means a new supermoon may be visible across Leeds. It’s the first chance stargazers have had to catch a glimpse of a supermoon in 2023.

This full moon is known as the ‘Buck Moon’, and will be the seventh full moon of the year. The Moon appears as different shapes in the sky depending on its ‘phase’, from new Moon to full Moon via ‘waxing’ (growing) and ‘waning’ (shrinking) moons. These phases are determined by the relative positions of the Sun, Earth and Moon.
