Tonight’s full buck moon marks summer's first full moon in the Northern Hemisphere. It will rise opposite Mars, appear orange on the horizon and carve a very low path.

The moon's near and far sides exhibit striking asymmetry—from topography and crustal thickness to volcanic activity—yet the origins of these differences have long puzzled scientists.

It's the dawn of a new era for 4 very lucky zodiac signs — but are they ready for the cosmically-ordained chaos?

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'.

Some plants can photosynthesise using nightglow, traditionally comprising moonlight, starlight and the light reflected from planets. Increasingly, artificial light at night, known as light pollution, contributes to this background illumination.

As Imhof noted, “Low Earth orbit, where the International Space Station sits, is orbiting 450 kilometres above us. The Moon is 1,000 times farther. It may seem easy to imagine travelling there because of the Apollo missions. But, honestly, we have to start from scratch.”

The full moon affects all signs. Expect emotional waves, heaviness, and challenges - but also purpose, responsibility, and focus. Stay patient and approach things with calm and restraint.
