Avid sky watchers may also have a chance to see multiple planets and a constellation later this month. Here's what to know.

July’s full moon will rise on July 10. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the Buck Moon will reach peak illumination at 3:37 p.m. Central Time when it will be below the horizon. Sky gazers should plan to look towards the southeast after sunset to watch it rise into the sky.

It's officially summer, and with that comes the first full moon of the season. July's full moon -- known as the Buck Moon or the Thunder Moon -- will light up the night sky on July 10 and be at its fullest going into July 11.

Skywatchers may have a harder time spotting July's full moon in Iowa. The evening of Wednesday, July 9, is expected to have 50-80% cloud cover across the state with some thunderstorms possible starting in western Iowa around 10 p.m. and moving across the state through the night, according to the National Weather Service.

July's full "Buck Moon" will be at its fullest on Thursday, July 10, and will be best seen at moonrise. It is the farthest full moon from the sun all year and one of the lowest in the sky.

The Thunder Moon or Buck Moon, as it’s called, the first full moon of the astronomical summer, will occur Thursday. On July 10, the moon will rise in the southeastern sky and will be illuminated throughout the evening until it sets in the southwest.
