by Skygazers can look at the horizon this week to catch a glimpse of the full moon around his peak lighting.
The full moon of this month, also known as the Buck Moon, will be on Thursday around 4.37 pm, according to Earthsky. That is of course at a time when the moon lies under the horizon for people in North America, who can catch their best view of the peak a few hours after sunset, according to the Almanac of the old farmer.
“The nice thing about the full moon is that it looks full of for about a day on both sides, so in the night of the 9th, for example, if you look at the full moon, it will look effective. Likewise, if you miss it on the 10th, the night of the 11th, it will also look reasonably full,” said Noah Petro, Geemist of Nasy -Laboratory.
Historically, the full moon of July is called the Buck Moon because it matches the time of the year in which the antlers of male deer or dollar grow rapidly, according to the almanac of the old farmer.
Other monikers for the full moon of July from native tribes are indicative for the summer season. De Cree, mainly in Canada, knows it as the expiring moon to indicate the time of the year in which birds shed their feathers, while the Tlingit tribe on the Pacific Northwest Coast calls it the Zalmmaan to indicate the seasonal salmon migrations.
When the weather is allowed, the best place to view the moon in an area with an unobstructed view of the eastern horizon, Petro added. It is also recommended to prevent areas with bright lights.
Keep an eye on the planets
Although no planets will be visible during the full moon, Venus, Jupiter and Mars will appear in the nocturnal heaven towards the end of the month.
Venus and Jupiter Layer are visible on the horizon for sunrise on 21 and 22 July. The planets appear next to the Pleiades and Hyades Star clusters, as well as the Ster Aldebaran, according to Earthsky. Stargazers must be planning to wake up early to view the fascinating morning scene.
The following week Mars will appear directly next to the Crescent Moon on July 28 and according to NASA will be visible during the first hour or two after sunset.
July also marks a historical opportunity: the 60th birthday of the first successful flyby of Mars in 1965. Nasa’s Mariner 4 Craft recorded images of the Red Planet during that flight – the first photos of another planet from the room.
Upcoming Full Manes
Watch out for five full moons this year, with supermons that take place in October, November and December.
Here is the list of full moons that remain in 2025, according to the Almanac of the farmers:
Lunar and Solar Definitations in 2025
Two Eclipse events will be created in the air when the summer ends.
A total lunar eclipse will be visible in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, parts of East -Zuid -Arikika, Alaska and Antarctica on 7 and 8 September, according to time and date.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon goes directly into the shadow of the earth and the three heavenly objects – the sun, the earth and the moon – stand in line. This makes the moon appear darker or dimmed.
When the moon is in the darkest part of the shade of the earth, the rays of the sun peep from behind the moon and give it a reddish tint, according to London Natural History Museum. Some people call the result a ‘blood moon’.
Two weeks after the total lunar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse will be visible in parts of Australia, the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific and Antarctica on September 21.
Sun -eclipses occur when the moon moves between the sun and the earth. In this case the moon will not completely block the sun, which means that only part of the surface of the sun will be blocked, according to NASA. This creates a half moon in which it looks like something “bite” from the sun.
