When is the full moon in June 2025? Here's when to see 'strawberry moon' in Texas
The first full moon of summer is Wednesday, June 11, and it is called a strawberry moon. It is known by other names depending on the part of the United States or the country. The Creek of the southeastern United States is called the Blackberry Moon. Much of Europe will call it the Rose Moon, and in China, it's known as the Lotus Moon. The full moon this month will be at its lowest point since 2006, which means it will appear larger than normal and may even appear to have a golden or orange tint. Here's when the June strawberry moon is, why it's called that and why this month's full moon will be special for the Northern Hemisphere. The next full moon, known as the strawberry moon, will occur on Wednesday, June 11. The full moon will reach its peak at 1:44 a.m. MT/2:44 a.m. CT. The June full moon is called the strawberry moon because it's tied to wild strawberry harvesting, which is a spring food staple to the Native tribes in North America. 'The June full Moon got the name 'strawberry moon' from a number of North American native tribes, since the wild strawberry reaches peak ripeness and is ready for harvesting in June,' The Almanac says. June's full moon will be special since it will be the lowest full moon since 2006 and the last until 2043. It may also appear golden or orange in color because of its low position on the horizon. "In the Northern Hemisphere, it will be the lowest full moon seen until 2043, staying unusually close to the horizon," according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. The last time the full moon was this low was 18.6 years ago, according to in what's known as a major lunar standstill. It won't happen again until 2043. This full moon may even appear golden, orange, or even reddish. Because June's full moon will sit so low on the horizon, pollutants in the air could make it appear golden or orange, which often happens as the moon rises.

Relaxe closes Central El Paso location, will offer mobile ax throwing before relocating
El Relaxe is closing its doors due to a difficult economic climate. The owners of the business, at 808 Montana Ave., posted their final goodbye on their Instagram page this week. And followers started responding with their disappointment. "After six incredible years filled with laughter, adrenaline, and unforgettable memories, we've made the difficult decision to close the doors of Relaxe. This journey has been nothing short of amazing — from the thousands of axes thrown to the countless friendships formed, we are beyond grateful for the support this community has shown us. Watching Relaxe grow into a place where people could blow off steam, celebrate milestones, and just have fun has been an honor," the post stated. "Unfortunately, like many small businesses, we've felt the weight of the current economic climate. Despite our best efforts, the challenges have taken a toll, and it's no longer sustainable for us to continue operations," it added. The ownership then said they will still be offering a mobile version of the ax throwing for two months before they relocate to Dallas.
