Buck Moon on July 29, 2026, precedes major solar eclipse

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The full Buck Moon will occur on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, and will be best viewed as it rises in the southeast during dusk across North America. This full moon, also known as the Feather Moulting Moon or Salmon Moon by Indigenous peoples, is notable for arriving just two weeks before a significant total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026. The solar eclipse's path of totality will cross regions including northern Russia, eastern Greenland, and western Iceland, with a partial eclipse visible across much of Europe, northwestern Africa, Canada, and parts of the northern U.S. AI
