Here is a compilation of photos as the Buck Moon was seen around the world last year.
A full Moon, believed to be named after the antlers of bucks, will peak in illumination Sunday morning, offering spectators a bright sight in the summer night sky.
The full Buck Moon will reach peak illumination at 6:17 a.m. EDT, so the best viewing will be during the hours before.
The Moon will be around average size when compared to micromoons and Supermoons seen at other times during the year.
If sky conditions are clear, astronomers say the Moon should start to become visible in the southeast sky during the early evening.
NASA astronomers also suggest being on the lookout for Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, but stargazers might need a device such as binoculars or a telescope to see all the planets.

Due to the increased gravitational pull from the Moon, higher-than-normal tides will be experienced. These are often called King Tides and can lead to nuisance flooding in coastal communities.
