Buck Moon 2026 signals a July-to-August eclipse season

July’s Buck Moon reaches full on July 29, 2026—the second full moon of summer in the Northern Hemisphere—setting the stage for a busy eclipse stretch that includes a total solar eclipse on August 12 and a partial lunar eclipse on August 28. The moon peaks at 10:37 a.m. EDT and remains bright on surrounding nights, with viewing best around southeast moonrise in North America. Named for deer antlers, it’s also called Thunder Moon and Hay Moon, and is among the year’s lowest-hanging full moons in the region. The next full moon, the Sturgeon Moon, rises August 27 and will be partially eclipsed as Earth’s shadow passes over it. Viewing can be done with the naked eye or a telescope, and sky-watchers can expect a continued eclipse season into August.

Eclipses: A Historical Game Changer and Must-See Phenomenon

Eclipses have had a significant impact on human history, influencing decisions, changing the outcome of battles, and shaping our understanding of the universe. Examples include a solar eclipse in 585 BC that ended a war between the Lydians and the Medes, an eclipse that saved Christopher Columbus and his crew from starvation in 1504, and a lunar eclipse in 1806 that solidified the influence of Native American leaders Tecumseh and his brother. The most historically consequential eclipse occurred in 1919 when a solar eclipse confirmed Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Eclipses continue to captivate and shape human history.
