July's full moon is called the "Buck Moon" and will occur on July 13 at 2:37 pm. The closest point in the moon's elliptical path will be at 5:06 a.m. on July 13th.
Fred Espenak is a NASA eclipse watcher.
According to timeanddate.com, the moon will rise in New York City at 9:00pm on July 13th.
There is a full moon when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth. The moon reflects the light of the sun. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes into the Earth's shadow.
Today's moon is related. The moon phases in the future.
Every few months the full moon coincides with perigee, which is when the moon is closest to the Earth. The moon is 10% larger to the eye if you are very attentive. Normally, the moon takes an average of 30 minutes of arcs, or roughly the width of a fingernail. At perigee, it goes up to 33 minutes of arcs. The distance between the moon and the earth will be 222,000 miles.
The local time of a full moon depends on one's time zone since a full moon is counted using the moon's position in relation to the Earth's center. You should check out skywatching apps like SkySafari or Starry Night to see when it's convenient for you. We have picked the best stargazing apps.
The setting and rising times of the moon are affected by its altitude in the sky. The full moon will rise in New York at 9:00 p.m. on July 13 and reach an altitude of 23 degrees at 1:33 a.m. on July 14. The moonrise in Miami is at 8:39 p.m. and will be 38 degrees high. July 14 is the highest day of the year.
One has a different point of view from different latitudes because the moon and the sun follow a path called the ecliptic. If one could see that line painted on the sky, it would be easier to see at sunset in the summer than in the winter. Because the plane of the ecliptic is lower, the full moons will be lower in the sky. Full moons in June, July and August will be higher up in the Southern Hemisphere.
The moon's position is tilted by about 5 degrees. We don't get a solar eclipse every new moon because of that. There will be a lunar eclipse every two to three years in most places.
When looking at the full moon through a telescope or binoculars, be prepared for a lot of glare because the moon is so bright. There is no danger to one's eyes, but details can be hard to see because there are few shadows in the central part of the moon. When there are shadows on the moon, it's easier to spot surface features.

On July 15th at 4 pm. According to In-The-Sky.org, the waning gibbous moon will be in conjunction with the planet, so for Northern Hemisphere watchers, the planet will be to the left of the moon. The moon is visible from New York City at 10:24 pm. The two will be close to each other even after the conjunction has passed. The stars of Capricornus will be overwhelmed by the moon, so it will be easier to spot a yellow-white, steady medium-bright star. They will be 34 degrees above the horizon at 3:09 a.m.
If you are in Europe, Africa or western Asia, you will be able to see the conjunction on July 15.
Depending on latitude, it will be difficult to spot the moon andSaturn. They will not get more than 23 degrees high from London. They will be 70 degrees above the horizon in Cape Town at 3 a.m. The highest altitude in New Delhi is 46 degrees.
Four of the five naked eye planets will form a line in the sky on the night of the full moon. Jupiter is the second to rise at 11:50 pm in New York City. At 1:03 a.m., the sun rises on Mars. The sun rises at 3:39 a.m. It was 4:30 a.m. by then. One can see Venus at about 8 degrees above the northeastern horizon and Mars at 38 degrees high. Jupiter will be almost due southeast, and Saturn will be just west of the south.
The sun will rise later in the winter for sky watchers in the southern hemisphere. The sun sets in Cape Town at 5:54 p.m. on July 13 and doesn't rise until 7:44 a.m. on July 14. On July 13th, the moon will rise at 8:13 p.m. Jupiter and Mars rise at the same time. On July 14 and Venus on July 13. By 7 a.m., it's in this case. The sky will be 10 degrees above the horizon. Jupiter will be to the west of the north and Mars will be to the left of the north. The planets will be towards the west.
Most fainter stars will be washed out by the moon's brightness in July. At midnight, the Summer Triangle will be approaching the zenith in the eastern sky, and Antares will be reaching its highest point in the sky.
Arcturus, the bright star in Botes, the herdsman, is one of the first stars to be seen in the evening. The Big Dipper can be seen if you turn a bit to the right. Polaris can be seen on the bottom side of the bowl. One can trace an arcs along the handle and "arc to Arcturus" in the other direction and then hit Spica, the best star in the constellation, in the southwest.
One can see the legend of the creature that killed the hunter in the winter. There is a tall, roughly rectangular shape made by some fainter stars, and it is Ophiuchus, the man who brought Orion back from the dead. The stars are not as bright in the city as they are in the countryside. One can come to the southernmost of the three stars of the Summer Triangle if one goes left and upwards. One can see the northern part of the country from the north.
The names of the July's full moon were given to the Native peoples of the Americas. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the Buck Moon is when a buck's antlers are in full growth. The full moon was known as the thunder moon because of the frequent storms.
