Here's what you might see in the sky this June
This June is filled with celestial events you won't want to miss. The summer equinox, the Strawberry full moon, and a meteor shower all happen this June.
The meteor shower is first up on the calendar on June 7. The Daytime According to Star Walk, the Arietids is the strongest daytime meteor shower of the year. A daytime meteor shower is a meteor shower that occurs during the day. This, of course, means that visibility of the meteor shower will be difficult to impossible given that the sun is up!
There will be a chance to see the meteors roughly one hour before dawn and leading up to dawn on the morning of June 7. The meteors will be located roughly 30° west of the sun. Therefore, estimate where the sun will come up over the horizon and shift your view slightly left.
The full strawberry moon is on June 11 around 3 AM. This full moon is unique in that it will be the lowest on the horizon in 18 years (next: 2043). The June full moon is the strawberry moon because this is around the time Native Americans harvested strawberries.
We change the season from spring to summer on June 20 at 9:42 PM. Conversely, the Southern Hemisphere will change from fall to winter. The summer equinox is the point when the Earth is tilted 23.5° towards the sun. The summer solstice is the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere, with a total daylight time of 14 hours and 44 minutes. It's the tilted angle of the Earth towards the sun that makes summer so hot. The Earth is located farthest from the sun during the Northern Hemisphere summer and closest during the winter.
The new moon will happen just 5 days later on June 25. This will create the best stargazing conditions on the night of June 24 and June 25. This is because a new moon emits no light, therefore allowing stars to shine brighter, making them more visible than on a night when the moon is present.

Vance jokingly pushes back on ‘intellectual' label: ‘You insult me'
Vice President Vance on Tuesday jokingly rejected the 'intellectual' label during a live interview at an event hosted by conservative think tank American Compass. The group's founder, Oren Cass, welcomed the vice president to the stage, saying he's 'thrilled' to talk to Vance and is 'in awe' of much of the work he's doing 'because there are politicians out there who are — they've just been politicians.' 'But you are someone who was an intellectual first,' Cass continued. 'Some people don't like the word 'intellectual.' But I mean it in the good sense of the term. You were writing for National Review. You were at the bar late at night arguing about and helping shape these ideas that you are now–' Vance laughed and cut in: 'I come here for free, and you insult me, and you call me 'an intellectual,' remind me that I wrote for National Review.' 'What an a–hole this guy is,' President Trump's No. 2 added, to audience laughter and applause. 'That's fair,' Cass said, noting that, 'I will admit that I, too, wrote for National Review.' The interaction comes as Vance has become Trump's chief defender in recent weeks, pushing back on courts who have ruled against the president's executive actions. Earlier this month, he accused the legal system of trying to 'quite literally overturn the will of the American people.' He has also slammed Democrats for mocking the commander-in-chief with the 'Trump Always Chickens Out' or 'TACO' moniker — tied to the president's seeming backpedaling of positions when they prove to be unpopular. Though critics have largely embraced the phrase to more broadly blast the administration over his policies. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
