Get Ready For The Strawberry Full
Strawberry Moon to Light Up June Skies
Skywatchers are in for a treat this June with the arrival of the Strawberry Moon, known for its warm amber glow and occasional rosy hue. Marking either the last full moon of spring or the first of summer, this is the sixth full moon of 2025.
A Rare and Beautiful Sight
Although it doesn’t signal the start of strawberry season, the Strawberry Moon offers a stunning visual. “Spectacular rise,” is how NASA astronaut Jeff Williams described the moon when he captured it from the International Space Station in 2016. In 2023, the moon beautifully lit up New York’s Statue of Liberty, resulting in breathtaking photos.
When and Where to Watch
The best time to catch the Strawberry Moon is at moonrise on June 10, especially in the Southeastern U.S., as the sun sets. Expect the moon to cast a “warm, amber tint across the sky.” The full moon will reach its peak early the next morning, on June 11 at 3:44 A.M. ET.
Don’t Miss This Moon
With only twelve full moons in 2025, the Strawberry Moon is a special mid-year highlight. If skies are clear, this is a great chance to experience one of nature’s simple wonders. As the article puts it: “To put it briefly, you won’t want to miss it.”
