July Full 'Buck Moon' Set to Peak
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 10 – July's full moon is named for bucks regrowing antlers and is also called the thunder moon due to summer storms and the hay moon for the hay harvest, experts say.
- The Buck Moon, July's full moon, will reach its peak fullness on July 10, 2025, visible across the UK and other regions around 4:37 p.m. ET.
- This event occurs annually when the moon is full in July and is named for the time male deer grow new antlers, also called the Thunder Moon due to summer storms.
- The Buck Moon appears unusually large and low near the horizon in 2025 due to the 'Moon illusion' and the Major Lunar Still phenomenon strongest after the summer solstice.
- Noah Petro, NASA's chief planetary geologist, explained that the full moon remains nearly full in appearance for about a day on either side, so if you miss seeing it on the 10th, it will still look nearly complete on the evening of the 11th.
- The event offers an excellent viewing opportunity with widespread clear skies forecast in the UK, and the Buck Moon could glow orange-red thanks to Rayleigh scattering near the horizon.
