The July full moon didn't disappoint as it rode low across the horizon last night and we've got the photos to prove it.

The moon will reach its peak at 4:37 p.m. EDT on July 10. During moonrise the lunar disk appears larger than it is as it is positioned close to the horizon. It tricks our brains into giving the illusion that it's larger than it is when viewed. It will be most visible after sunset at 8:53 p.m. EDT.

The full buck moon will reach its peak illumination on Thursday, July 10. It’s just one of this month’s celestial highlights.
