There's something neat that happens when the full moon is closer to the horizon, and we call it the "moon illusion."

July's Buck Moon for 2025 is just around the corner, here's why it's extra special this year, plus when it's happening and how to see it.

July’s full ‘Buck Moon’ rises close to aphelion, making it the furthest full moon from the sun in 2025. The July full moon, known as the 'Buck Moon' will rise on Wednesday, July 10 and put on a spectacular show for both stargazers and astrophotographers alike.
