Alternative names for July’s full moon include several horticulture-themed monikers: the Blueberry Moon and Raspberry Moon (both from Anishinaabemowin), the Corn in Tassel Moon (Cherokee) and the String Bean Moon (Ohyotsheli). July 15: Lāhainā Noon #2 for 2025We discussed the phenomenon known in Hawai’i as Lāhainā Noon back in May. Lāhainā Noon takes place when the sun is directly overhead, resulting in a rather disconcerting lack of shadows. July 30: The Delta Aquariids reach their peakLate July and early August will be a treat for meteorite aficionados. To observe the Delta Aquariids, look south to the bright star Fomalhaut.The meteorites’ “radiant point,”or point of origin, is right above this star.
