Look up Monday evening for the full strawberry moon
The June full moon, known as the 'strawberry moon,' will be visible on Monday evening. Despite its name, the moon will not appear red, though it may take on warm hues due to atmospheric scattering as it rises.
Why it matters
This event provides an opportunity for public engagement with astronomy and highlights the cultural history behind traditional lunar naming conventions.
By Tony Rice, NASA Ambassador Look to the southeastern sky Monday evening and you’ll see June’s full moon rising just after sunset. Astronomically, the Moon reaches its full phase at 7:56 p.m. on June 29, but it will appear full throughout the night.
