July 2025's full Moon will loom low and large in UK skies tonight. Nicknamed the Buck Moon, this cosmic event will be one of the lowest-lying full Moon's of the year and the farthest from the Sun. The Buck Moon will sit so close to the horizon that it will appear much bigger than usual, in a phenomenon known as the 'Moon illusion'.

A full moon is one of the lunar phases where the entire visible side of the moon, facing Earth, is illuminated by the sun.

The best time to see the Buck Moon will be at moonrise, when the moon will appear on the eastern horizon and look like an orange orb.
