Some information is from the Old Farmer’s Almanac<\/strong><\/a>
\n“July\u2019s full Buck Moon is coming up\u2014 rising after sunset on Wednesday, July 13. This will be the biggest and brightest supermoon of the year! Find out when to look for this month\u2019s Moon and also why we call it the Buck Moon.”<\/p>\n

When to See the Full Moon in July 2022<\/strong>
\n“July\u2019s full Buck Moon will rise on Wednesday, July 13, reaching peak illumination at 2:38 P.M. Eastern Time. It will be below the horizon at that time, so plan to look towards the southeast after sunset to watch it rise into the sky.”<\/p>\n

Why Is It Called the Buck Moon?<\/strong>
\n“The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. Traditionally, each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred, not solely to the full Moon.”<\/p>\n

The Buck Moon<\/strong>
\n“The full Moon in July is called the Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time. Bucks shed and regrow their antlers each year, producing a larger and more impressive set as the years go by.”<\/p>\n

Alternative July Moon Names<\/strong>
\n“Several other names for this month\u2019s Moon also reference animals, including Feather Moulting Moon (Cree) and Salmon Moon, a Tlingit term indicating when fish returned to the area and were ready to be harvested.”<\/p>\n

Behold the Full Buck Supermoon!<\/strong>
\n“July\u2019s full Buck Moon orbits closer to Earth than any other full Moon this year, making it the biggest and brightest supermoon of 2022! At its nearest point, the Buck Moon will be 222,089.3 miles (357,418 km) from Earth so it just edges out June\u2019s Strawberry Moon by 200km.’<\/p>\n

‘While a supermoon is technically bigger and brighter than a regular full Moon, it only appears about 7% larger\u2014which can be an imperceptible difference to the human eye, depending on other conditions. Nonetheless, it\u2019s fun to know that the full Moon you\u2019re looking at is the closest, biggest, and brightest of the year.” <\/p>\n
