The full strawberry moon will produce a stunning show as the fully lit disk of Earth's natural satellite rides low over the south-eastern horizon.

Rather, the evocative name is thought to have been coined by the Native American Algonquian tribes in reference to the short strawberry harvesting season that falls around this time of year, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Other cultures have dubbed the event the blooming moon, green corn moon, birth moon and hatching moon, to name a few,' according to
