The beginning of summer brings with it the full moon. Astronomy fans can look up and see the Strawberry Moon from Thursday night until Sunday morning, when June’s full moon rises.
The June full moon will reach peak illumination on Friday at 9:08 pm EDT, but will appear full early on Thursday, which is the Summer Solstice, NASA he said. Specific details from the Old Farmer’s Almanac moonrise times for different zip codes in the USA
Lowest full moon in years
At the summer solstice, the sun appears at its highest altitude. Because full moons are opposite the sun, the full moon that occurs near the summer solstice is low in the sky.
O Old Farmer’s Almanac notes that June’s full moon is actually the lowest full moon in many years. In areas where the moon is visible, it will appear very large because it will be very low on the horizon.
“From places like Fairbanks and Rekyavik, this Full Moon won’t even clear their horizon. It won’t rise at all. For them, June simply won’t have a full Moon,” said the Old Farmer’s Almanac it says.
Why is June’s full moon known as the Strawberry Moon?
Full moon names often come from seasons, historical harvests, and the behavior of certain animals. The “Strawberry Moon” nickname has nothing to do with the color or shape of the moon this month; instead, it was historically used to mark the ripening of strawberries ready to be picked in June, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac.

The June full moon — typically the last full moon of spring or the first of summer — also goes by several other names, including Berries Ripen Moon, Blooming Moon, Green Corn Moon and Hoer Moon. Other nicknames for this month’s full moon include Birth Moon, Egg-Laying Moon, Hatching Moon, Honey Moon, and Mead Moon.
What’s next for astronomy fans?
The July full moon reaches peak illumination on July 21st. July’s full moon is known as the Buck Moon.
Those hoping to see another meteor shower or eclipse will have to wait until later this year. O Perseids meteor shower will not peak until August. On October 2nd, a annular solar eclipse will be visible in parts of South America with a partial eclipse visible in parts of South America, Antarctica, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and North America.
