June's Strawberry Moon Will Be the Lowest Full Moon of the Year—Here's How to See It
This month's full Strawberry Moon will be an extra special sight to see.
It will be the final full moon of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and one of the farthest—about 94,600 miles—from the sun. Plus, The Old Farmers' Almanac says it will be the lowest full moon seen in the Northern Hemisphere of the year. When the moon is low in the sky, it also appears to be bigger, so you won't be able to miss it this month.
The full Strawberry Moon peaks on June 11 at 3:44 a.m. EDT, according to The Old Farmers' Almanac. But the best time to see it will be the evening of June 10, when the moon rises during dusk. You can check the moonrise and moonset times for your area here, as they vary by location.
Despite its name, the moon won't have a strawberry hue. According to The Old Farmers' Almanac, the Native American Algonquian tribes that live in the northeastern U.S. and the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples use the name to mark the ripening of wild strawberries.
Alternate names include the Honey Moon and the Mead Moon. That's because June was traditionally when couples married, and the 'honeymoon" followed. Other common names for the upcoming full moon include the Blooming Moon, Birth Moon, Hatching Moon, and Hoer Moon.
To get the best view of the full moon, find an elevated location with a clear view of the eastern horizon during moonrise on June 10.

This 2-Ingredient Breakfast Has 30 Grams of Protein and Tastes Like Frosting
I'm always looking for ways to increase my protein intake. These amino acids are essential for repairing and maintaining the body's tissues and organs and for building muscle. But there are only so many egg whites, chicken breasts, beans and almonds one can down before throwing in the towel and accepting a fate of lackluster gym sessions. That's when life demands a bit of creativity to reawaken the palate and make "fit food" fun again. Enter protein yogurt: a simple, two-ingredient blend of basic Greek yogurt and vanilla-flavored protein powder that yields a taste and consistency similar to frosting. How to make protein yogurt Did I mention it requires only two ingredients? Joey Skladany/CNET Making protein yogurt is so easy, it would almost certainly elicit eye rolls from Martha Stewart types, but for fast, nutritious meal options, the goal is not to impress a celebrity chef -- it's to nourish and satiate. Simply mix three-quarters of a cup (generally a serving) of your favorite Greek yogurt and one serving scoop of vanilla or vanilla frosting-flavored protein powder together. That's it. I know what you're probably thinking: a) That's the most basic recipe in the world, and b) There is no way this is going to taste like dessert. And to that, I'd say, you're partially correct. Greek yogurt is high in protein and has a thick, frosting-like texture. Joey Skladany/CNET Yes, it will take less than 10 seconds to complete and no, I'm not here to convince you that protein powder and yogurt taste like a treat from Magnolia Bakery. But the dynamic duo takes a very plain breakfast staple and zhuzhs it up with an additional 25 grams to 30 grams of extra protein. Protein yogurt is completely customizable Once it's done, you can eat it with fresh fruit or granola. Pamela Vachon/CNET A yogurt with a higher fat content will yield an even creamier mouthfeel. It doesn't have to be Greek, although I love the texture. You also don't have to limit yourself to whey protein, as there are plenty of other powders on the market to accommodate specific preferences and dietary needs. For our vegan friends, this includes pea, hemp and brown rice varieties that can also be mixed into dairy-free cashew, almond or coconut yogurts. Flavor is customizable based on the protein powder, as well, and you don't have to rely on the container's contents. Toss in seeds, nut butters, chocolate chips, coconut flakes or even oats for a heartier concoction. My personal favorite yogurt for this recipe is Siggi's Icelandic skyr or Fage BestSelf Lactose-Free if my tummy is feeling off. I mix them with protein powder brand EHP Labs OxyWhey in the vanilla ice cream flavor.

‘Strawberry Moon' June 2025: See The Lowest Full Moon Since 2006
The full strawberry moon — the final full moon of spring in the Northern Hemisphere — will turn full on Wednesday, June 11, 2025. However, it will be best seen at moonrise on Tuesday, June 10 as it appears in the east during dusk. It takes its name from the ripening of summer berries in North America during June. It's also the lowest-hanging full moon not only of the year, but since 2006 because of a once-in-18.6-years occurrence called the 'major lunar standstill.' The full Strawberry Moon sets behind the Statue of Liberty before sunrise on June 4, 2023, in New ... More York City. (Photo by) The strawberry moon will turn full at 3:45 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, 10 days before the solstice on Saturday, June 21, 2025. It will look full the night before and the night after it's officially 100%-lit by the sun, but the best time to watch it rise is at moonrise during dusk on Tuesday, June 10. EarthSky says June's full moon is the strawberry, flower and rose moon. Cultural and seasonal names for the full moon vary hugely across the world. A full moon always looks at its best not when it's high in the sky at night, but when it first appears above the eastern horizon during dusk. The sight is at its best when the moon rises shortly after sunset. That timing is good this month for North America, with the moon rising a few minutes after sunset. As well as being the latest at night to rise of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, June's strawberry moon is also always the lowest-hanging full moon of the year. This happens because the full moon is opposite the sun, by definition, so it mirrors the sun's position. For example, the full moon is at its lowest when the sun is at its highest. In practice, that means it never gets very high in the sky. To see the full strawberry moon at its best, find an elevated location, an open field or an east-facing coastline with a clear view of the eastern horizon. To find the best time to see it appear from where you are, consult a moonrise calculator. Here are some sample times : This year there's another reason why June's full moon is the lowest of the year — the moon's current major lunar standstill. This once-every-18.6 years period, which lasts for about a year — is caused by the tilts of the moon and Earth being at their maximum — meaning the moon rises and sets at the farthest points on its range on the horizon. In practice, the moon in June 2025 will rise farther to the southeast than at any time since 2006, stay low in the southern sky all night (about five degrees lower in the sky than the sun does on the winter solstice), and set as far to the southwest as it ever can. The strawberry moon is the sixth of 12 full moons in 2025. The solar year is 365.24 days, while our lunar year is around 354.37 days, so sometimes there are 13 full moons in one calendar (solar) year — as in 2023 and next in 2028. Of the 12 full moons in 2024, three will be 'supermoons' and two 'blood moon' total lunar eclipses (the first happened on March 13-14, and the next lunar eclipse is on Sept. 7-8). The next full moon is the buck moon, which will occur on Thursday, July 10. It will be the first full moon of the Northern Hemisphere's astronomical season of summer (and winter in the Southern Hemisphere), which begins on the date of the June solstice on Saturday, June 21, 2025.
