Learn about June's full moon, including how it got its name and when you can see it
The next full moon is nearly here, and it's the last full moon of spring.
Here's what's to come this month.
The next full moon, a strawberry moon, will be visible on June 11 at 3:44 a.m., according to Almanac.
Ahead of the full moon, the first quarter moon will appear on June 2 at 11:41 p.m., followed by the last quarter moon on June 18 at 3:19 p.m. and the last quarter moon on June 25 at 6:31 a.m., according to Almanac.
June's full moon is the strawberry moon, named after the small wild strawberries that ripen at this time of the year, according to Almanac.
The strawberry moon is also known as the 'hot moon,' 'green corn moon' and 'berries ripen moon' to Native American tribes; the 'horse moon,' 'rose moon' and 'dyan moon' in Celtic culture; and the 'mead moon' to Anglo-Saxons, a nod to the moon occurring during a time of year meant for mowing the meads, or meadows, according to TimeandDate.com.
Around every 20 years, the strawberry moon coincides with the summer solstice, occurring on either June 20, 21 or 22.

The buck moon is also known as the 'raspberry moon,' 'claiming moon,' 'salmon moon,' 'wyrt moon' and 'herb moon,' among other names, according to Native American and Celtic tradition, according to TimeandDate.com.
Some refer to July's full moon as the thunder moon, due to the frequent thunderstorms during the summer, or the hay moon, in honor of the hay harvest in July.

Experts Found 6,000-Year-Old Human Remains With No Relatives
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: An analysis of bones from ancient people who once lived in Colombia has discovered DNA that does not directly connect them to any other ancient or modern population in South America. It is thought that these people might somehow be related to speakers of Chibchan languages, which are spoken in the area where they once lived. More genomic research will be needed to demystify who these unknown people were and whose ancestors they might be. Around 6,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers who migrated south settled in the Bogotá Altiplano of what is now Colombia, transitioning to an agricultural society over the next 4,000 years. Then they vanished. Whoever these people were, they disappeared from the genetic record. The team of researchers who discovered them through fragmented DNA in their skeletal remains have not been able to find any ancient relatives or modern descendants. They are strangely not related to Indigenous Columbians, having more of a connection to people who now live on the Isthmus of Panama and speak Chibchan languages. It could be possible that they spread through the region, mixing with local populations for so long that their genes were diluted, but no one can be sure. Genetics tell the story of how the Americas were populated by the ancestors of modern Indigenous people. Their origins lie in Siberian and East Asian groups who are thought to have first mixed 20,000 years ago, during the Late Paleolithic, later crossing a bridge of ice to North America some 16,000 years ago. It was then that this lineage split into northern Native American and southern Native American lines. While the northern Native American ancestry is mostly made up of populations that stayed in North America, three more lineages branched into southern Native American ancestry, which would reach further south. 'The Isthmo-Colombian area, stretching from the coast of Honduras to the northern Colombian Andes, is critical to understanding the peopling of the Americas,' the researchers said in a study recently published in Science Advances. 'Besides being the land bridge between North and South America, it is at the center of the three major cultural regions of Mesoamerica, Amazonia, and the Andes.' Each southern Native American lineage can be traced back to its earliest ancestors. There is one line descending from the Anzick-1 individual discovered in 1968, when construction workers unearthed the 12,700-year-old skull of a child belonging to the Clovis people, one of the earliest known peoples in the Americas. This young boy is related to modern Indigenous people from North, Central and South America. Another lineage that is found in the Central Andes comes from ancient people living in California's Channel Islands. Yet another lineage, also descended from the Clovis population, is associated with the oldest Central and South Americans from Belize, Brazil and Chile. When exactly these populations appeared in Central and South America is still mostly unknown, but they must have arrived by traveling over the land bridge that connects the southernmost part of Central America to the South American subcontinent. There is also a linguistic connection. Speakers of Chibchan languages share some genetic and cultural aspects with the mysterious people who cannot be traced directly to any population. When and where the ancestral Proto-Chibchan language originated is unclear, but distinct languages are thought to have started evolving from it several thousand years ago, possibly in southern Central America. Chibchan speakers in this region have kept the largest number of these languages alive. While genetic analysis of local Indigenous people has shown that they are related to more ancient speakers of Chibchan languages, some findings suggest that they are not directly descended from the first people to settle in that part of Colombia. By studying both mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and genome-wide data from 21 ancient individuals who lived in this region from 6,000 to 500 years ago, the researchers were able to find out some information about who they were, but not all the answers. More ancient Panamanians were found to be related to modern Chibchan speakers than ancient Colombians. However, Indigenous Chibchan speakers from Central America are the modern population genetically closest to ancient Colombians who lived after 2,000 years ago. Many groups who were around at the same time and spoke similar languages to the unknown people still need further investigation. 'Ancient genomic data from neighboring areas along the Northern Andes that have not yet been analyzed through ancient genomics,' the researchers said, 'such as western Colombia, western Venezuela, and Ecuador, will be pivotal to better define the timing and ancestry sources of human migrations into South America.'

Understrength Japan out to show Socceroos who's boss
Japan have boldly declared they want to win the 2026 World Cup and want to use Thursday night's match against the Socceroos to show off their enviable depth. While Japan have already secured their spot for the showpiece event, Australia still have work to do. If the Socceroos (13 points) fail to beat Japan at Optus Stadium on Thursday night, their hopes of automatic qualification could rest on the result of next Tuesday's clash with Saudi Arabia (10 points) in Jeddah. Japan have brought an inexperienced squad to Perth with overseas stars such as Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton & Hove Albion), Daizen Maida (Celtic), Reo Hatate (Celtic), Takumi Minamino (Monaco), Ritsu Doan (Freiburg), Junya Ito (Reims) and Hidemasa Morita (Sporting Lisbon) among the big outs. But don't be fooled, Japan are still desperate for victory with the Samurai Blue keen to maintain an unbeaten run against Australia that stretches back to their win over their arch-rivals in the Asian Cup final in 2011. Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu says Thursday's match, albeit a dead rubber for his side, is a crucial part of his World Cup puzzle. "Our main goal is to win the World Cup next year," Moriyasu said through an interpreter in Perth on Wednesday afternoon. "And thinking about this ... we need to take each match seriously, step by step, and I think we need to build the strongest team possible towards the World Cup. "It's true that the core member hasn't travelled to Australia this time, and you may think that it's not the best squad that we could possibly have. "But I would like to show the world that we still have lots of players that are coming through, and I would like my players to shine on the very best stage tomorrow." "It meant an awful lot and probably my favourite game of football." 💚💛The last time Adam Taggart played in his hometown, he scored his first Subway #Socceroos goal on home soil. And tomorrow night, he's hoping for another. 🔥 🇦🇺 v 🇯🇵 - 5.6.25, 9pm AEST (7pm local)🎟️:… — Subway Socceroos (@Socceroos) June 4, 2025 Japan captain Wataru Endo, who plays for Liverpool, is confident Japan's newcomers will be able to adapt. "The new players have shown us that they have very good quality on the pitch," Endo said. "And as one of the experienced players in the team, I would like to help them get into the team and let them focus on the next match against Australia and try to thrive in the match."

Suspect in WA state cold case caught working at AR women's shelter
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman wanted in connection with a nearly decade-old homicide in the Pacific Northwest was arrested at a women's shelter in Phillips County, Arkansas. The Phillips County Sheriff's Department said Tina Alcorn, 54, was working at the shelter when she was taken into custody Tuesday morning. According to the Associated Press, Alcorn is accused of killing George David, 65, in 2016. David, who was a Native American master carver, was found beaten to death at a Port Angeles apartment. An autopsy showed he died from head injuries. Alcorn is awaiting extradition to Washington to face charges. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
