Tonight’s full buck moon marks summer's first full moon in the Northern Hemisphere. It will rise opposite Mars, appear orange on the horizon and carve a very low path.

The next full moon is Saturday, Aug. 9, and is sometimes called the Sturgeon Moon. It gets that name from when "The Great Lakes and Lake Champlain sturgeon were said to be most readily caught," per the Old Farmer's Almanac.
