July's full moon is known as the buck moon and will peak on Thursday, July 10. The full moon is a phase when it appears to be fully illuminated from Earth’s perspective.
This year, the Buck Moon follows Earth's aphelion, the point in its orbit farthest from the Sun, by just a few days, according to Space.com. That makes it the full moon farthest from the Sun in 2025, a result of orbital geometry rather than distance from Earth.
