Rare sky event in Egypt now
The Moon Gazelle phenomenon is one of the astronomical events observable during July 2026. The moon will be full and reach its peak on July 29th at 3:36 PM UK time. The timings of its appearance vary depending on the geographic location. During this event, the moon appears prominently bright and looks larger than its normal size at sunrise due to the "moon illusion," which causes the brain to perceive the disk as bigger when near the horizon. Additionally, it takes on a yellowish-orange hue as a result of atmospheric light scattering. This event provides an opportunity to observe the full moon clearly at night after it has completed its full phase during the day, with several full moons occurring throughout 2026.
