Full Strawberry Moon – June 11, 2025 Get ready to gaze at one of the most charming lunar events of the year! On the evening of June 11, the sky will glow with the light of the Full Strawberry Moon — marking either the final full moon of spring or the first of summer, depending on the timing of the solstice. Why “Strawberry” Moon? This sweet-sounding name comes from the Algonquin tribes, who used it to signal the ripening season of wild strawberries. While the moon won’t actually turn pink, its low position during moonrise can give it a rosy or golden hue, thanks to the atmosphere. Best Time to Watch: Look to the eastern horizon just after sunset. It’ll shine bright all night, and will appear larger than usual when low in the sky — a beautiful trick of the mind known as the moon illusion. Fun Fact: In some cultures, this moon is also called the “Honey Moon,” tied to the tradition of June weddings and the idea that this is the sweetest time of year. Pro Tip: Head to a dark area with an open view of the horizon and bring your camera — this moonrise is one you’ll want to capture!
