See a Full 'Buck Moon' and 'Shooting Stars': The Night Sky This Week

Late July 2026 brings a full Buck Moon, peak Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids, and Mercury’s best pre-dawn viewing.

Skywatchers can also look ahead to the Perseids, with more summer meteor activity and moonlit events on the calendar.

An Aug. 12 total solar eclipse is the bigger upcoming highlight, requiring proper solar eclipse glasses for safe viewing.
