TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Head outside after the sun sets Thursday and you might catch a glimpse of a spectacular sight rising in the night sky.

The full “Buck Moon” will rise on Thursday, July 10, reaching peak illumination at 4:36 p.m. EDT, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.

The moon will be below the horizon at that time but should be visible in the southeastern sky just after sunset.

This year will be particularly special due to a phenomenon known as a “Major Lunar Standstill,” according to space.com.

The phenomenon occurs once every 18.6 years when the sun’s gravity affects the moon’s orbit and makes it appear especially high or low in the sky, depending on the time of year.

It will be low this year and may even take on a golden or reddish hue due to rays of light having to travel father through Earth’s atmosphere.

So why is it called the Buck Moon? Like many moon names, it is derived from North American tribes who took notice of things happening in the natural world around them.

Male deer, or bucks, shed and regrow their antlers each year, and July’s full moon rises at the same time the animals’ antlers are in full growth mode, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.
