When is the Strawberry Moon? Best time to view the full moon from Texas in June 2025
A Strawberry Moon will dazzle skywatchers on June 11. This year's Strawberry Moon will be a micromoon, meaning it will appear dimmer and smaller than usual. The moon is expected to be a shade of gold rather than a vibrant shade of red like a strawberry, if weather conditions allow. The spectacle marks the last full moon before the summer solstice, when we officially say goodbye to spring. The moon also will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer because it will be near its farthest point from Earth. Date: Wednesday, June 11 Peak Illumination: 2:44 a.m. CT Peak illumination does not always coincide with the best viewing time, which occurs after the sun has fully set. Peak illumination marks the moment when the full moon is perfectly opposite the sun in the sky, reaching its maximum brightness. However, since the moon rises in the east as the sun sets in the west, it won't be fully visible until after sunset. In some cases, peak illumination can even occur in the morning or midday, making those times less ideal for viewing. June's full moon will be among the lowest in the sky of the year because of its low arc. Its moonlight will reflect the Earth's atmosphere, giving it a yellow or orange tint. On June 11, the full moon rises in the east shortly before sunset, which makes it the best time to see it from North America. Check the moonrise and moonset times in your location, then pick a site where you can see the eastern horizon at a low angle.
