The 'Buck Moon' is still visible: it is the prelude to an eclipse that will cover about 93% of the Moon in August

The article discusses two astronomical phenomena expected in the United States within weeks of each other. The first is the 'Buck Moon,' which will reach its peak on Wednesday, July 29, and the second is a partial lunar eclipse on August 27-28, during which approximately 93% of the moon will enter Earth's darkest shadow. The Buck Moon, named after the time of year when male deer antlers grow fully, is also referred to by other names such as Thunder Moon, Salmon Moon, and Halfway Summer Moon. The upcoming lunar eclipse will be visible across much of the United States, with NASA confirming the eclipse's magnitude at 0.930, indicating that the moon will be partially obscured. The article outlines the timings of different phases of the eclipse, including the start of the penumbral phase, the beginning of the partial eclipse, and the maximum coverage.
