July 2025 offers a variety of celestial events including the Perseid meteor shower, a full buck moon, and visible planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, along with notable conjunctions and the Earth at aphelion, making it an excellent month for stargazing in the Northern Hemisphere.
The Full Buck Moon, the first of four consecutive supermoons, will rise tonight. To ensure that skywatchers don't miss out on this celestial event, astronomer Gianluca Masi and the Virtual Telescope Project will be livestreaming the Full Buck Moon. The livestream begins at 5 p.m. ET and can be watched on the Virtual Telescope Project's website or YouTube channel. Supermoons occur when the moon is closer to Earth than average, appearing slightly larger and brighter. While the differences may be difficult to discern with the naked eye, supermoons provide an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the night sky and raise awareness about light pollution.
