The Moon looked spectacular over parts of the south on Thursday night. This particular Moon was a Buck Moon, a type of supermoon - when the Moon is closest to the Earth, and full. Monthly full Moons have different names, and July's is named to represent the time of year when male deer, known as bucks, begin to grow their new antlers.

While the "Buck Moon" will be at its fullest on Thursday in the Louisville area, it may look a little different due to a "major lunar standstill."

This July full moon signals the time when male deer, or bucks, begin to grow their new antlers, covered in soft velvet.

Another Full Moon will return to the skies across central Indiana the night of July 10th. These full moons contain different names, depending on the month. These names date back to the 1930s,

Experts say July’s full moon could reduce sleep by up to 20 minutes on the evening of the 10th and as much as 90 minutes in the days leading up to and following it. Scientists in Switzerland previously found that, on the night of the full moon, people take on average five more minutes to fall asleep.
