The moon's near and far sides exhibit striking asymmetry—from topography and crustal thickness to volcanic activity—yet the origins of these differences have long puzzled scientists.

As Imhof noted, “Low Earth orbit, where the International Space Station sits, is orbiting 450 kilometres above us. The Moon is 1,000 times farther. It may seem easy to imagine travelling there because of the Apollo missions. But, honestly, we have to start from scratch.”

It’s the full moon that hits in July, and in astrology, it’s basically your cosmic reminder to get your life together. It’s named after the time of year when male deer (aka bucks) start growing their antlers — so think of it as a major glow-up moment from the universe.

Some plants can photosynthesise using nightglow, traditionally comprising moonlight, starlight and the light reflected from planets. Increasingly, artificial light at night, known as light pollution, contributes to this background illumination.

Predicting the precise path of a new asteroid or comet is a complex affair; the more observations you have, the better you know where an object will be, years hence.

July's full moon, often called the "Buck Moon," will occur on July 10, 2025. In Oklahoma City, it is expected to rise just before 9 p.m and will remain out until 6:12 a.m. on July 11, 2025.

The full moon affects all signs. Expect emotional waves, heaviness, and challenges - but also purpose, responsibility, and focus. Stay patient and approach things with calm and restraint.
