Each July, the full Moon rises with a name borrowed from the natural world — the Buck Moon, so called for the antlers male deer grow in this season, or the Thunder Moon, for the storms that follow. This week, the UK has the chance to witness it hanging full and bright on the nights of Tuesday and Wednesday, even as the precise astronomical peak slips below the horizon in the afternoon hours of the 29th. It is a small reminder that the sky has always been humanity's first calendar, and that the impulse to look up and find meaning there is as old as language itself.
