Despite being the second-smallest of 2026, its perfect timing \u2014 rising just after sunset as seen from Europe and North America \u2014 created jaw-dropping moonscapes across the world. It came amid a forecast for Northern Lights in northern U.S. states. Here are the best photos of June\u2019s full moon, one of the celestial highlights of summer.  <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1129\">Supreme Court Justices Disclose Millions From Publishers, Law Schools<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Why Was It Called The Strawberry Moon?<\/h2>\n<p>The origin of the name Strawberry Moon has nothing to do with the color of June\u2019s full moon, according to Almanac. Instead, it takes its name from the short harvesting period for ripe strawberries in North America. Other cultural names include Blooming Moon (Anishinaabe), Green Corn Moon (Cherokee) and Hoer Moon (Western Abenaki).<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Why This Full Moon Looked Small<\/h2>\n<p>June\u2019s Strawberry Moon was a micromoon, which occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon\u2019s apogee \u2014 the most distant point in its elliptical orbit around Earth. This full moon was 252,442 miles (406,267 kilometers) from Earth, slightly farther than average, so it appeared slightly smaller and dimmer than average.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1127\">\u201886 47\u2019 Appeared At Great American State Fair In Trump-Backed Event\u2019s Latest Plight<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>A Low-Hanging Summer Moon<\/h2>\n<p>As the first full moon of summer, the Strawberry Moon followed a shallow arc across the sky in the Northern Hemisphere. Full moons always sit opposite the sun, and with the sun riding high near the June solstice, the moon remained lower than usual. As a result, the Strawberry Moon rose far to the southeast, stayed low across the southern sky and set far to the southwest before dawn. In the Southern Hemisphere, it was the year\u2019s highest full moon.<\/p>\n<h2>What Comes Next In The Night Sky<\/h2>\n<p>The next full moon will be the full Buck Moon on July 29, which will be followed by a dramatic run of late-summer solar and lunar events. The main attraction will be a total solar eclipse on Aug. 12 in eastern Greenland, western Iceland and northern Spain, which will be seen as a deep partial solar eclipse across Europe and as a small partial solar eclipse in northeastern U.S. states and Canada. It will be followed by a very deep partial lunar eclipse on Aug. 27-28.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1125\">JetBlue Jet May Have Hit Drone At New York\u2019s JFK Airport<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Further Reading<\/h2>\n<p><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>Your Full Moon Guide For 2026 \u2014 All 13 Dates For Your Diary<\/span><small>By <span>Jamie Carter<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>Luxury Last-Minute Options For The 2026 Total Solar Eclipse<\/span><small>By <span>Jamie Carter<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>50 Days To A Total Solar Eclipse \u2014 Where And When To Experience It<\/span><small>By <span>Jamie Carter<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>7 Spectacular Stargazing Events To See This Summer<\/span><small>By <span>Jamie Carter<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June\u2019s strawberry moon rose worldwide on June 29 to become the first full moon of summer, the lowest-hanging of the year and the second-smallest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
