Overview

• Astronomers from Date and Time and INAOE confirm the Buck Moon will rise at 17:42 and peak at 17:36 Argentine time before setting at 08:48, with the moon 390,607 km from Earth and optimal visibility at 20:36 in Mexico.
• Astro Space Tour’s “Luna Llena del Ciervo en Capricornio, Buck Moon – Bajo el cielo de invierno” begins tonight in Catamarca, featuring telescopes, laser-guided sky mapping and a presentation by astronomer Nahuel Rigotti.
• The Buck Moon name originates from Algonquin tradition marking the growth of male deer antlers and is also known across cultures as the Hay Moon, Thunder Moon and Salmon Moon.
• Astrologer Astrid Uez warns that the Capricorn full moon’s alignment of Saturn and Neptune may cloud judgment, advising against major purchases or signing contracts during this period.
• As the first full moon of summer, the Buck Moon continues a longstanding practice of linking lunar phases to seasonal and ecological cycles, following June’s rare Strawberry Moon lunasticio.
