“Buck Moon” Can Be Seen in New Jersey Tonight

A "Buck Moon" is just a nickname for a full moon in July.  But why?

According to NJ.com,

The most common nickname for the July full moon is the "buck moon," a name that dates back to the time when native Americans noticed that bucks (male deer and male antelopes) would begin to grow new antlers during this summer month, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

Just look into the sky (hopefully it will be clear) on Tuesday night to see the Buck Moon, Thunder Moon or Hay moon.  Or just a full moon, which is exactly what you will see.
