The third supermoon of 2022 will grace the night sky on Wednesday.
It's also known as a buck moon because it falls in July. The name doesn't come from its appearance — you won't see the shape of a buck on the moon's surface or anything. Instead, it refers to something that's happening in nature.

"The full Moon in July is called the Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time," as The Old Farmer's Almanac says. "Bucks shed and regrow their antlers each year, producing a larger and more impressive set as the years go by."
The Sundial Primer – Azimuthal or Azimuth Sundial
The azimuthal dial indicates the time by the sun's direction. The dial must be designed for a particular latitude. Figure 1 illustrates a dial that is designed to indicate Local Apparent Time (LAT). The hour lines appear as curved lines on the horizontal dial plate amongst the circular date lines. The gnomon is a vertical pin located at the centre of the dial. The dial must be positioned on a horizontal surface and orientated in the north-south direction as shown in the figure. The time is read by noting the hour line that the gnomon's shadow intersects for a particular day.
