The July full moon is set to draw attention across Devon and Cornwall, where the lunar event is known as the Buck Moon. According to the details provided, the full moon is expected to reach its peak at 15:36 BST on Wednesday.
The name Buck Moon is linked to the time of year when male deer, or bucks, quickly grow a fresh set of antlers. That seasonal connection has made the title a familiar one for the July full moon.
For skywatchers in Devon and Cornwall, the event is one of the notable moments in the monthly lunar calendar. Full moons often attract extra interest because of their brightness and the traditional names attached to them.
This year’s Buck Moon adds another seasonal landmark to July, combining a well-known full moon name with a specific peak time on Wednesday. The event highlights both the changing summer sky and the natural cycle that gives the moon its traditional title.
