Full Buck Moon Seen Through A Telescope

Full "buck" moon is seen through a telescope from L'Aquila, Italy, on July 21st, 2024. The term "Buck Moon" refers to male deer, known as bucks, which begin growing new antlers in late spring. By July, these antlers, covered in velvety fur, are fully visible. The name "Buck Moon" originates from the Algonquin tribes of the northeastern U.S. Video shows how atmospheric turbulence associated with seeing refers to fluctuations in the density and temperature of air in the Earth's atmosphere. These fluctuations cause distortions in the light coming from celestial objects, creating shaky and blurred images.
