July 2025 Moon Calendar
The Full Moon in July 2025 will take place on Wednesday, July 10. People living in New York City, for example, will start to see the Full Moon rising at 8:54 p.m. EDT. The Full Moon will reach its peak brightness at 4:37 p.m. on that same day, so by evening it will appear large and bright in the sky.
This particular Full Moon is called the Buck Moon. The name comes from the time of year when deer start to grow new antlers, which is usually around mid-summer. Like always, the Full Moon happens when the Earth is exactly in the middle of the Sun and the Moon. This means sunlight hits the Moon straight on and fully lights up the side facing us, making the Moon look like a perfect glowing circle.
As the Moon travels around Earth, the sunlight hits it from different angles. That’s what causes the Moon to look different each night sometimes a sliver, sometimes half, and sometimes full. These changes are what we call lunar phases, and people all around the world enjoy watching them and even use them to plan events, plant crops, or follow spiritual practices.
