Today is the first supermoon of 2023 year.
The sky gazers can enjoy the brightest lunar display at 5:08 pm in Delhi, when it would be at its peak.
According to The Old Farmer’s Alamanac: “The first full moon of summer will be more luminous and 224,895.4 miles (361,934 kilometers) from Earth.”
The name symbolises the importance of new antlers emergning on deer buck’s forehead around this time.
