“Fireworks vs Supermoon” is copyrighted by Michael Seeley. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteOn July 4, an almost full Moon, known as a Buck Moon, rose in the evening sky. This full lunar phase was near perigee, the closest point in the Moon's orbit around Earth. This qualified it as a supermoon, the first of four in 2023. This supermoon rose over Cocoa Beach, Florida, competing with fireworks for attention.
