Get ready for the Buck Moon this July! The full moon, also known as the Buck Moon, will grace the skies on July 21, 2024, at 6:19 a.m. This name comes from the time of year when male deer antlers start to grow. Did you know that deer shed their antlers every year? It’s a fascinating cycle of growth and renewal in the animal kingdom.
During a full moon, the moon is fully illuminated, opposite the sun. In July, it’s also known as the Squash are Ripe Moon, the Moon of the Young Corn, and the Raspberry Moon by different indigenous cultures. The full lunar cycle lasts about 29.5 days, encompassing phases from new moon to full moon and back again.
Want to capture the beauty of the moon in a photo? Whether you’re using a DSLR or a smartphone, a stable camera and low ISO setting are key. Keep an eye out for the next full moon on August 19, 2024, known as the Sturgeon Moon.
