Why July’s Full Moon is Called the Buck Moon

https://thepakistan.pk/why-july-full-moon-called-buck-moon/


 The July full moon put on a magnificent show on July 10, rising low over the southern horizon to the delight of stargazers and astrophotographers worldwide. Read on for a roundup of the best photos of the lunar show.

July's full moon is known as the 'Buck Moon', in reference to the male deer — called bucks in the U.S. — that begin to grow out their antlers around this time of year. Eagle-eyed observers may have noticed this month’s full moon riding unusually low on the horizon. This is a result of the Buck Moon’s proximity to the summer solstice — a time when the sun is at its highest in the daytime sky and the moon travels a correspondingly low path through the night.

It also appeared near a phenomenon called a Major Lunar Standstill. Roughly every 18.6 years, the sun's gravity pulls the moon's tilted orbit into its most extreme inclination relative to Earth's celestial equator. As a result, the moon appears especially low in the sky during the summer months.
