This year, the Buck Moon follows Earth's aphelion, the point in its orbit farthest from the Sun, by just a few days, according to Space.com. That makes it the full moon farthest from the Sun in 2025, a result of orbital geometry rather than distance from Earth.

Technically, the Perseids will be active from July 17 to August 23. However, the peak of the showers will occur from August 11 to August 13. The best time for viewing will be during the pre-dawn hours, but the moonlight may create some interference.
