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,

The Buck moon, or July's full moon, may also be referred to as the thunder moon, due to the frequent thunderstorms during the summer, or the hay moon, in honor of the hay harvest in July. Anyone can see the moon no matter where they are in the world. In Central Florida, the moon will be visible beginning at 4:37 p.m.

The Old Farmer's Almanac, which began publishing full moon names in the 1930s, says some Native American tribes called July's full moon the "buck moon" because it occurs in early summer, when male deer (bucks) typically begin growing new antlers covered in velvety fur.
