When Can You See July's Full Buck Moon?

Celestial Highlights in July
In addition to the full buck moon, July is also bringing us a partial lunar eclipse on the 16th and the Delta Aquariid meteor shower on the 27th. The partial lunar eclipse will be visible in most parts of the world, while the meteor shower will be best seen in the southern hemisphere. Keep an eye on the night sky to catch these stunning events.
The Meaning Behind the Name
The full buck moon gets its name from the fact that July is when male deer start growing their antlers.
