This year’s full ‘Strawberry Moon’ in June is set to break an annual record due to its low position in the sky. The best time to view the moon will be at dusk on Tuesday, June 10, rather than its official peak on Wednesday, June 11.
A full moon is always one of the lowest-hanging of the year in the Northern Hemisphere because it mirrors the sun’s position in the sky. Since the summer solstice occurs on June 20 or 21, the closest full moon rises during dusk and sets in the southwest.
The Strawberry Moon gets its name from wild strawberries that ripen in some areas of the Northern Hemisphere this month. This year’s full moon will be approximately 94,600 miles from the sun, making it one of the farthest full moons from our star.
Stargazers can spot Antares, a bright star 550 light-years away, in the constellation Scorpius as they view the Strawberry Moon. The event is expected to take place at 3:45 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, June 11.
