This full moon is a little extra special because it\u2019s the 57th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, when humans first walked on the moon.<\/p>\n<p><img data-rich-text-asset-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/d5086a99-e7ec-43c8-bad2-9fb80f36a115.png\"   alt=\"d5086a99-e7ec-43c8-bad2-9fb80f36a115.png\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">The July full moon is given a few different nicknames, but two that stand out are the Buck Moon and the Thunder Moon. The name Buck Moon comes from the male deer, or buck. This time of year, they begin to grow their antlers. July is also notorious for hot, humid weather and frequent thunderstorms.<\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">The moon will be full Wednesday at 10:36 a.m., and we will see it rise that night at 8:20 p.m. If the weather is good and the sky is clear, you might be able to see the Summer Triangle just above the rising full moon in the east after sunset.<\/p>\n<p><img data-rich-text-asset-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/af87f217-efe2-4e04-a527-4a599016106a.png\"   alt=\"af87f217-efe2-4e04-a527-4a599016106a.png\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Later the next morning, as the moon is setting in the west, the planets Mercury, Mars and Saturn will be spread across the sky from east to west. Mercury will be quite low and very close to the sun, so it may be difficult to see.<\/p>\n<p><img data-rich-text-asset-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7119d1f7-3433-4fe4-b592-78f445a9e367.png\"   alt=\"7119d1f7-3433-4fe4-b592-78f445a9e367.png\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-rich-text-paragraph=\"true\">Coming up next month will be the famous summertime meteor shower.
