The full buck moon will turn full on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, with the best views from North America to be had as it rises in the southeast during dusk. Named for the time of year when male deer regrow their antlers, this is the second full moon of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. It\u2019s also an important celestial marker, arriving just two weeks before a total solar eclipse on Aug. 12, one of the biggest sky events of the year, and four weeks before a partial lunar eclipse.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1839\">Billionaire Ken Griffin Will Now Own Entire Block In Miami After City Approves Land Sale<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Best Time To See The Full \u2018Buck Moon\u2019 Rise<\/h2>\n<p>The best evening to watch the buck moon rise will be Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at the exact time of moonrise where you are. To see the full moon at its best, find an elevated location, an open field or a coastline with a clear view of the southeastern horizon.<\/p>\n<p>This month delivers strong timing across the U.S., with moonrise falling close to sunset in both New York and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New York City: sunset at 7:50 p.m. EDT, moonrise at 8:33 p.m. EDT (full moon is at 10:37 a.m. PDT).<\/li>\n<li>Los Angeles: sunset at 7:57 p.m. PDT, moonrise at 8:18 p.m. PDT (full moon is at 7:37 a.m. PDT).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The night before, the moon rises before sunset while the sky is still very bright.

During the event, the moon\u2019s dark central shadow will sweep from the Arctic to the Mediterranean, via northern Russia, eastern Greenland, western Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean and northern Spain, with a tiny corner of Portugal also inside this path of totality. Totality will last up to about 2 minutes 18 seconds near Iceland. During totality only, eclipse glasses can come off, and the sun\u2019s corona \u2014 its faint outer atmosphere \u2014 becomes visible to the naked eye. Much of Europe, northwestern Africa, Canada, and parts of the northern U.S. will see a partial solar eclipse. During all partial phases, certified eclipse glasses or solar filters are essential. The eclipse also coincides with the peak of the Perseids meteor shower overnight on Aug. 12-13.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Background<\/h2>\n<p>The buck moon is the eighth of 13 full moons in 2026. Why? A solar year lasts about 365 days, while a lunar year is about 354 days, so some calendar years contain 13 full moons. The next full moon will be the Sturgeon Moon on Friday, Aug. 28, 2026, which coincides with a deep partial lunar eclipse, the best lunar eclipse anywhere on Earth until Dec. 31, 2028. During the Aug. 27\u201328 event, 96.% of the moon will pass into Earth\u2019s dark umbral shadow, making it appear dimmed and reddish-orange \u2014 though there will be no totality, so it won\u2019t be a true \u201cblood moon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1835\">Trump Approval Rating Hovers Below 40% As Most Say Trump Will Factor Into Midterm Vote<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Further reading<\/h2>\n<p><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>50 Days To A Total Solar Eclipse \u2014 Where And When To Experience It<\/span><small>By <span>Jamie Carter<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>Your Ultimate Travel Guide To The 2026 Total Solar Eclipse<\/span><small>By <span>Jamie Carter<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>7 Spectacular Stargazing Events To See This Summer<\/span><small>By <span>Jamie Carter<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>NASA\u2019s Daring Plan To Save Its Space Telescope Falling Out Of Space<\/span><small>By <span>Jamie Carter<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>What Are Those Two Bright Stars In The West After Sunset?<\/span><small>By <span>Jamie Carter<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything you need to know about July\u2019s full moon, including when it turns full, the best evening to see it rise and how it sets the stage for a total solar eclipse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1840,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
