Buck Moon – July Full Moon

July's full moon — known as the Buck Moon — rises tonight, named for the new antlers male deer grow this time of year. Across many traditional lunar calendars, each full moon carries a seasonal nickname; the Buck Moon marks midsummer nights when velvet antlers are pushing out and the Moon climbs bright after dusk.

In 2026, the Buck Moon peaks on July 29. Clear skies, a dark horizon away from streetlights, and a few minutes of eyes adjusting to the night make the disk look larger and more detailed. Binoculars help pick out maria and brighter highlands; even without gear, the warm glow of a summer full moon is worth stepping outside for.
