July's full moon, known as Buck Moon, peaked on the night of Thursday, July 10. But the moon will remain full, to the naked eye, for a few more days.

The full buck moon will reach its peak illumination on Thursday, July 10. It’s just one of this month’s celestial highlights.

The moon will reach its peak at 4:37 p.m. EDT on July 10. During moonrise the lunar disk appears larger than it is as it is positioned close to the horizon. It tricks our brains into giving the illusion that it's larger than it is when viewed. It will be most visible after sunset at 8:53 p.m. EDT.
