The full moon of July, also called the Buck Moon, will rise on July 10.
A full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun; the night side Earth sees a fully-illuminated moon. Generally the moon rises near the time of sunset, and that will vary with latitude and season. The exact moment of full moon occurs at 4:37 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (2037 UTC) on July 10, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.
