The so-called "Deer Moon" has risen over Russian cities, which was captured by eyewitnesses. A video of this phenomenon was published on the SHOT Telegram channel.
Locals noticed an unusual shade of the moon. The "Deer Moon" became the brightest full moon of July, reaching its maximum at 23:37 Moscow time on July 10.
Experts explain the name of this phenomenon by the traditions of the indigenous peoples of North America, for whom deer begin to grow new antlers during this period. For the Indians, this time symbolized the blossoming of nature and the preparation of animals for the approaching seasonal changes.
Earlier, astrophysicists reported a meteor shower in July.
