The 2026 Buck Moon Will Rise This Week, Coinciding with Three Active Meteor Showers
July 29, 2026 marks the rise of the full Buck Moon, the first full moon since the summer solstice. Along with the Buck Moon, the Southern Delta Aquariids and Persids meteor showers will appear in the night sky, though the moon’s light may make it difficult to catch a glimpse of any falling meteors. As July ends, early risers may also catch a glimpse of Mercury in the pre-dawn skies.
