Is it a full moon tonight? When you'll start seeing July's 'Buck Moon'
The first full moon of July and astronomical summer, called a Buck Moon, is tonight, July 10. The Buck Moon will be one of the lowest hanging full moons of the year. The only full moon that sits lower in the horizon is June's Strawberry Moon. The remaining July moon phases include the Last Quarter Moon on July 18, and the New Moon July 24. The moon will reach peak illumination around 4:35 p.m. which is when the moon is still below the horizon in North America. The best time to see the Buck Moon will be at moonrise, when the moon will appear on the eastern horizon and look like an orange orb. The moonrise and moonset calculator predicts that moonrise in Erie will be at 9:24 p.m. The name references the new antlers male deer, or bucks, are rapidly growing in summer. Antlers can grow up to one inch per day during this period, and antlers will reach full size in late-summer. The July full moon also has other monikers. Other names for this moon, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac, include: Thunder moon Berry moon Raspberry moon Salmon moon-a term referring to when the salmon returns to the waterways of the Pacific Northwest Feather Molting Moon The Buck Moon will appear larger to the naked eye than a normal full moon due to its closer proximity to the horizon. The moon's proximity to the horizon throughout the night will enhance its size and color making it appear larger than usual, which is called a moon illusion. This phenomenon occurs once every 18.6 years. Ice cream of mystery: What does Blue Moon ice cream taste like?
