Supermoon is a term used to describe the moon when it is in the closest proximity to Earth, in its orbit, at the same time as it’s in the full moon phase.
When a supermoon occurs in July, it’s called a buck supermoon because it’s around the time when male deer, bucks, in the northern hemisphere grow new antlers.
