Strawberry Moon 2025: The lowest full moon until 2043 is rising in Asia tonight
Berries Ripen Moon, Green Corn Moon, and Hot Moon – tonight's Strawberry Moon goes by many names, but whatever it's called, it will be a sight to behold. The June full moon is set to rise over Asia tonight, and it will be an extra-rare one, appearing to hang lower and larger in the night sky. If you're keen to add one more moon photograph to your collection, here's all you need to know about the Strawberry Moon and how to catch it. When is the Strawberry Moon in Asia 2025? The Strawberry Moon will reach its peak brightness at 2.44am ET on June 11. That's mid-afternoon on Wednesday for moon watchers in Asia, but we expect the full moon to be just as bright and beautiful when it rises tonight (June 10) and tomorrow night. So, don't fret and head out for a nice picnic under the night sky. What is a Strawberry Moon? Sad to say that the Strawberry Moon is not actually pink, though it's known for having a subtle orange glow. This full moon was named by Native American tribes as it came around every time that wild strawberries reached their peak ripeness, in June. Why is this year's Strawberry Moon so rare and special? This year's Strawberry Moon is extra special because of a major lunar standstill. This is part of the moon's 18.6-year cycle, where complex interactions between its orbit and the sun's gravitational pull causes it to rise and set at its most extreme northern and southern positions. This year, the moon's path will be the lowest it has been during a June full moon since the year 2006. The next time it's this low will be in 2043. Thanks to this phenomenon, you can expect the Strawberry Moon to better live up to its name – its low position will allow the moon to shine through more of the Earth's atmosphere, making it appear redder than usual. How to see the Strawberry Moon? The Strawberry Moon should be visible to the naked eye – so long as there are clear skies. We suggest finding a place far away from the city lights, as the darker the area you are viewing it from, the better. When is the next full moon? The next full moon, the Buck Moon, will rise exactly one month after the Strawberry Moon on July 11.

Strawberry moon to delight stargazers ahead of summer solstice
The upcoming solstice on June 20 will mark the official start to astronomical summer across the Northern Hemisphere, but before the changing of the seasons, there is one more night sky event that is about to unfold. The full Strawberry Moon will rise Tuesday evening and continue to shine into Wednesday morning, a sight that can be seen around the world. June's full moon nickname dates back to the Indigenous Peoples of the northeastern United States, who recognized that the strawberry harvest season typically began around the same time as the month's full moon, Chris Palma, the professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State University, told AccuWeather. "But interestingly, this moon, where the sun is very high in the sky, the moon is actually going to be very low in the sky. So there's a chance it will actually look a little bit reddish or pink, and, and so that may also be part of the origin of the name," Palma said. Similar to the Strawberry Moon nickname, there are other unofficial titles for June's full moon that date back hundreds of years, including the Green Corn Moon, the Blooming Moon and the Hatching Moon. Stargazers who miss out on the Strawberry Moon Tuesday night can step outside and look skyward Wednesday night, as the moon will still appear full.
