When and how Scots can see the upcoming total lunar eclipse
The eclipse will be visible from the UK in just a few short weeks. Scots have been treated to a series of significant night sky events this year - from the recent record-breaking Strawberry Moon to several sightings of the Northern Lights. But an upcoming total lunar eclipse is sure to blow these previous cosmic views out of the water. A total lunar eclipse will be visible over the UK in just a few short weeks, on September 7, although it won't be visible for long. The Moon will turn a deep, dark red during this event that's certainly not one to miss. With this in mind, we've rounded up everything you need to know about the coming eclipse, including when and how to spot this cosmic phenomenon. What is a total lunar eclipse? A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth lies directly between the Sun and the Moon, and the Moon lies in the shadow of the Earth. For a total lunar eclipse to occur, all three of these celestial bodies need to lie in a straight line. When this happens, the Moon passes through the darkest part of the Earth's shadow, which is called the umbra, according to Royal Museums Greenwich. The Moon will turn red during a total lunar eclipse because it is illuminated by light that has passed through the Earth's atmosphere, and has then been bent back towards the Moon. When is the next total lunar eclipse? The next total lunar eclipse will occur in a few weeks on September 7, and it will be visible from the UK. The Moon will rise above the horizon just in time for us to see it. Its maximum will occur at 7.33pm BST from the UK, with the eclipse's actual maximum at 7.11pm when the Moon is below our horizon. The Moon will then gradually move out of Earth's umbra until 9.55pm. How can you spot the total lunar eclipse? Because the Moon will be low on the horizon and quite difficult to see, a high point with a clear view to the East will be necessary to fully see the eclipse. If you can't get up high, any areas with a clear horizon will be ideal to see this low-hanging moon and its eclipse. There are several Scottish spots that are ideal for viewing the sky with a clear horizon. Here are some of the best places to catch the lunar eclipse. Beaches A beach is one of the best places to go for an unobstructed horizon, and Scotland is home to many. The best beach for stargazing, however, is Luskentyre Beach on the west coast of Harris in the Outer Hebrides. This beach's lack of light pollution has led to it being named one of the best in the whole of the UK for observing the wonders of the night sky. For those on the mainland, almost any beach will be a great spot for catching the eclipse. Plains Perhaps harder to find in the rolling hills of Scotland, a grassy field or plain is another perfect choice of place for amateur stargazers to see the low-down lunar eclipse. Large, flat areas of land are more commonly found in the lowlands of Scotland compared to the mountains of the Highlands. If you live nearby any farmland or wide open fields, you may be in proximity to a great viewing spot. Mountains or hills If you can't find any flat low land due to Scotland's vibrant landscape of rolling hills, you could consider climbing high enough that they won't obstruct the skyline. Scotland is home to countless hills, and some are particularly good for stargazing. For those in proximity to Glasgow, Ballageich Hill is just 25 minutes away by car, and Conic Hill is a short climb near Balmaha that's around an hour away from the city. However, if you're planning to climb a hill or mountain at night, it's vital to be well-equipped with good shoes, appropriate clothing, a torch (red-light torches are recommended to prevent disturbing wildlife) as well as a working phone in case of emergency.

Did you miss July's Buck Moon peak? Here's what to expect tonight.
July's "Buck Moon" has already peaked this week, but for a few more days, folks can look up to see the nearly full moon in the sky. July's full moon, known as Buck Moon, peaked on the evening of Thursday, July 10. However, according to NASA, the moon will remain full for a couple of days and be visible to the naked eye. Unlike Strawberry Moon or Blood Moon, when the moon appears big, bright and almost a different color in the sky, Buck Moon is simply the nickname for July's full moon phase. The moon itself doesn't turn a different hue. Here's what to know about Buck Moon, even though its peak has passed. July's buck full moon: 4 zodiac signs could receive 'keys to a better life' When was July's full moon? The full moon peaked on the evening of Thursday, July 10, but folks will still be able to see the full moon through the weekend before it begins to wax. Can you still see July's full moon after its peak? Yes. Although July's full moon has already peaked, to the naked eye, the moon will appear full for a couple of days, NASA states. Why is it called 'Buck Moon'? July's full moon coincides with when male deer antlers are at peak growth. Male deer grow their antlers in late spring, growing as fast as 1/4 of an inch per day or one and a half inches per week, according to the Farmers' Almanac. The lengthening daylight in spring triggers deer's hormones to start this growth. By July, deer antlers can be spotted in full velvet, which is when the antlers are covered in a soft, hairy skin due to the rapid growth phase of the bones. Deer lose this velvety coating in the fall during mating season, according to the Farmers' Almanac. When is the next full moon? The next full moon, known as Sturgeon Moon, will occur on Saturday, Aug. 9. Here's when the other full moons for this year are expected: Contributing: Mary Walrath-Holdridge, USA TODAY Greta Cross is a national trending reporter at USA TODAY. Story idea? Email her at gcross@

What time to see July's full moon Buck Moon in the UK
Stargazers will be in for a treat as similar to last month's Strawberry Moon, another spectacle can be spotted in the form of July's Buck Moon. Plus, there's something even more unique about this full moon, as it can be spotted in the constellation Sagittarius. The Buck Moon, July's full moon, will rise tonight (July 10) at 10.09pm BST. 'It's the best chance to see it at its brightest and fullest this year,' states astronomical telescope expert Alan Jones from 365 Astronomy. 'Because Sagittarius is close to the horizon, having a clear, unobstructed view of the southern horizon, free from trees or buildings, is essential to enjoy the moon clearly as it rises around 10pm.' The Buck Moon will lie close to the horizon and will also be the farthest full moon from the sun all year. Much like June's Strawberry Moon – the lowest-lying full moon in more than 18 years – July's Buck Moon will also sit unusually low in the sky. It is also located in the horizon-grazing constellation Sagittarius, in the middle of a star pattern that's known as the Teapot. 'When the moon is near the horizon, it can appear a bit larger than usual,' Mr Jones continues. 'At this time, the moon may also take on an orange or reddish hue, as Earth's atmosphere scatters blue light and allows warmer colours to shine through. 'Sometimes, you might even spot a halo or ring around the moon, created when moonlight passes through thin clouds or ice crystals in the sky, producing beautiful glowing patterns.' Th Buck Moon is named to represent the time of year when male deer, known as bucks, begin to grow their new antlers. For many it marked the start of the game hunting season. Other nicknames for the July full moon include the Feather Molting Moon and the Salmon Moon.

It's the perfect time to release outdated roles, set boundaries, and realign with your goals. For the rest of 2025, the UK will experience full moons on the following dates: August 9, September 7, October 7, November 5, and December 5.

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? Where to find it in Erie Skies in Erie County are predicted to be mostly clear tonight, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, with an evening low of 67 degrees.
