July's full moon, also the first supermoon of 2023, debuted on Monday, offering skywatchers the opportunity to enjoy a larger and brighter lunar disk shining in the sky.

The July supermoon, known as the Buck Moon, is so named because it coincides with when male deer grow antlers.

Here is the glorious moon viewed from different locations across the world.
