If you look into the sky on Wednesday evening you'll have a good chance of spotting the biggest and brightest Moon of the year.

The full "Buck Moon" will, like last month's "Strawberry Moon", be classed as a "supermoon".
This is because it is occurring whilst the Moon is near perigee, the closest point in its orbit around Earth, making it appear larger and brighter.
Viewed from the UK, the moon will rise in south-east England at 21:47 BST.
The Moon's orbit of the Earth is elliptical, meaning that our distance from it is constantly changing.
Tania de Sales Marques, a planetarium astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, said that a full Moon at perigee looked about 14% bigger and 30% brighter than a full Moon at apogee - when the Moon is farthest away from us in its orbit.
She added that the Moon would look even larger in the moments just after moonrise due to an optical effect called the "Moon Illusion".
"For those with an unobstructed horizon, the rising Moon might be quite a sight," she said.
