When is the next full moon? What time will the strawberry moon be visible tonight?
June's full moon, also known as the rare strawberry moon will appear this week next to the bright red Antares star in the constellation Scorpius during a Major Lunar Standstill. Here's what it all means.
Tuesday's special strawberry full moon will be the lowest full moon in decades because we are near what's called a Major Lunar Standstill — a phenomenon that occurs every 18.6 years when the moon's orbit is tilted at its maximum angle, reaching its highest and lowest points in the sky.
Here's what to know about June's full strawberry moon, the moon phases and the summer solstice.
The strawberry moon will reach peak illumination at 3:44 a.m. on June 11, 2025, according to the Almanac. The moon will appear bright and full on Tuesday night, June 10.

Similar to April's Pink Moon, June's Strawberry Moon gets its name from the seasonal berry harvest, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Ripening berries are traditionally ready to be harvested around this time in the northeastern United States.
Albeit, while strawberries are in fact a reddish-pink color, the color of the moon is not reflective of the 'strawberry' name, but rather it gets its reddish glow when it is closer to the horizon and the light rays pass through the densest layers of the atmosphere.
The June solstice will mark the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere as it heralds the start of the new season of summer, which this year will begin at 10:42 p.m. ET on June 20, 2025.
The July full moon, known as the buck moon, will be visible on July 10, 2025.

Can you still view the strawberry moon? Why is moon so low in sky? When is next full moon?
Miss this week's "strawberry" full moon? The full moon peaked at 3:30 a.m. June 11, but prime viewing will continue in Bucks County Wednesday night when the full moon rises at 9:25 p.m. in our southeast skies. It is the lowest full moon in decades because we are near what's called a Major Lunar Standstill — a phenomenon that occurs every 18.6 years when the moon's orbit is tilted at its maximum angle, reaching its highest and lowest points in the sky. This accounts for the lateness of its rise in the night sky. June 12's rise will occur even later, at 10:15 p.m. Thursday night. June's full moon, also known as the rare strawberry moon, appeared this week next to the bright red Antares star in the constellation Scorpius during a Major Lunar Standstill.
