Watch The ‘Buck Moon’ Rise Tonight — Exact Times Where You Live

July’s Buck Moon peaks on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, making it a standout summer skywatching event.

The best time to see it is at moonrise across North America and Europe, including cities like New York and Los Angeles.

The moon may appear larger and more golden near the horizon before turning its familiar full-moon look higher in the sky.

It comes just two weeks before the Aug. 12, 2026 total solar eclipse, giving observers two major celestial events in quick succession.
