Look up! You still have time to see July’s full ‘Buck Moon’ in the sky.
“If you are waking up, look west,” NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Alicia Roman said Wednesday. “It will set later this morning. You still have some time.”
The moon’s peak illumination comes at 9:36 a.m., Roman said. Skies were expected to clear but a bit hazy, Roman said, with wildfire smoke filtering through.
“You might be able to smell it a bit,” Roman said, of the smoke.
The “Buck” full moon is named after the time of year male deer have their antlers in “full growth,” Roman said. Other names for the July full moon are the “Thunder moon” because of July’s stormy weather, the “Salmon Moon” or the “Halfway Summer Moon.”
The next full moon, the “Sturgeon Moon,” comes Aug. 28. That day will also see a partial lunar eclipse, with the Earth’s shadow covering as much as 96% of the moon, according to Space.com.
“At maximum eclipse, only a thin sliver of the moon will remain outside Earth’s darkest shadow, creating an “almost blood moon” with nearly the entire lunar surface glowing a deep reddish-orange,” the site said.
According to NASA, that partial solar eclipse will be visible in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Western Asia. Aug. 12, a total solar eclipse will be visible in Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia, and a small area of Portugal, with a partial eclipse visible in Europe, Africa, North America, the Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Pacific Ocean.
