On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, the night sky will host the full moon known as the 'Buck Moon.'
To see it clearly, look toward the southeastern horizon just after sunset, preferably away from city lights.
You might notice the moon looking extra large as it rises; this is the 'Moon Illusion,' a psychological trick where your brain compares the moon to landmarks like trees or buildings.
The name 'Buck Moon' comes from Algonquin traditions, marking the time when male deer grow their velvet-covered antlers.
If you are lucky, atmospheric conditions might even give the moon a beautiful orange tint.
While several meteor showers are active during late July, the moon's bright light may outshine them.
Whether you call it the Buck, Thunder, or Berry Moon, take a moment to step outside and enjoy this summer lunar display.
