On the night of June 11, skywatchers around the world will be treated to the Full Strawberry Moon — the final full moon of spring or the first of summer, depending on the solstice.
Why is it called the "Strawberry Moon"?
The name originates from Native American Algonquin tribes who used this full moon as a seasonal marker for the ripening of wild strawberries. While the moon doesn’t actually turn red or pink, its low position on the horizon during moonrise can sometimes give it a warm, golden, or even rosy hue due to atmospheric conditions.
When and where to watch:
You can observe it rising just after sunset and shining bright all night. For the best view, head to an area with a clear horizon and minimal light pollution. It will appear larger when near the horizon due to the "moon illusion."
Fun fact:
June's full moon is also known in some cultures as the “Honey Moon,” a term that may be linked to the tradition of June weddings and the belief that this is the sweetest time of year.
Don’t forget to grab your camera—this moon makes for a spectacular photo opportunity!
