According to skyatnightmagazine.com, it will be the lowest laying full moon seen north of the equator, as well as one of the farthest from the sun. Because the moon is near its farthest point from Earth, it'll appear slightly smaller and dimmer.

Each full moon name derives from natural event occuring such as seasonal changes used by Native American, Colonial American and European sources.
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, The Strawberry Moon name comes not from its color, but from the Algonquin tribes in North America, who saw this full Moon as the signal that wild strawberries were ready for harvest.
The moon will reach its peak and become full visible at 3:45 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, June 11, but the best time so see it will be as it rises on June 10, according to LiveScience.com.

Ongoing meteor shower could produce exploding fireballs of color and light this week
While they are already glittering across the evening sky, the most popular meteor shower is about to reach its peak, with a chance of large fireballs exploding against the black backdrop of night. The Perseid meteor shower has already streaked across the sky since July 17 and will continue until Aug. 23, but they should reach peak speed and volume between Aug. 12 and 13, according to NASA. The best time to check out the Perseids is during the pre-dawn hours, but astronomers suggest viewing them as early as 10 p.m. As the Perseids appear, they typically leave behind long 'wakes,' or brief glows of light and color behind them, the space agency stated. The meteor shower typically has around 25 meteors fly through the sky per hour, but as many as 50 to 100 can be seen 'Perseids are also known for their fireballs,' NASA stated on its website. 'Fireballs are larger explosions of light and color that can persist longer than an average meteor streak. This is due to the fact that fireballs originate from larger particles of cometary material.' For these reasons, NASA said that astronomers consider the Perseids as the best and most popular meteor showers of the year. So, where in the night sky can stargazers spot the Perseids? The shower's radiant point, or the placement of where a celestial object is in the night sky, is in the direction of the constellation Perseus, NASA stated.

A rare ‘Black Moon' will appear in the sky this month. Here's when
While there is the expression 'Once in a blue moon,' once in a while, there is a Black Moon too. Later in August, a rare Black Moon will be seen — or rather, hidden — in the night sky. A Black Moon is the moniker for a third new moon out of four in an astronomical season, instead of the usual three, as Time and Date described. The western half of the Western Hemisphere is expected to 'see' the Black Moon starting before 12 a.m. on Aug. 22, according to Time and Date. For the rest of the world, the Black Moon will occur after 12 a.m. on Aug. 23, including for the central and eastern United States. Black Moons happen once every 33 months, with the next one expected on Aug. 20, 2028, when it is also expected to be a supermoon, Time and Date stated. The previous Black Moon was on April 30, 2022. In the lunar cycle, new moons take place roughly every month, according to NASA. As people likely know, the moon is invisible in the night sky when it reaches its new moon phase. The illuminated side of the moon faces the sun while the night side faces Earth. Given that a new moon means the night sky is free from the moon's illumination, the night of a Black Moon is a perfect time for stargazing and using a telescope to view the planets and stars in the sky.

Sturgeon can measure over 6 feet long and weigh around 200 pounds. The fish dates back 136 million years, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
