While the "Buck Moon" will be at its fullest on Thursday in the Louisville area, it may look a little different due to a "major lunar standstill."
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.
