STRAWBERRY MOON

Seecmesmerizing views of the Strawberry Supermoon thrilled stargazers all over the world on June 14, 2022.

The first of four summer supermoons rises on Tuesday and here’s what to expect

The Full Strawberry Moon of June 14 may appear ever-so-slightly bigger and brighter than usual when it rises this month, making it a "supermoon."

While the name of June's full moon doesn't actually refer to its color, it can be seen as a pinkish hue during moonrise and moonset.

The final supermoon of 2021 was captured by photographers around the world.

The first full moon of summer 2021, also known as the Strawberry Moon, rises tonight (June 24), marking the last supermoon of the year. June’s full moon arrives Thursday (June 24) at 2:40 p.m. EDT (1940 GMT). Technically, the moon will officially be full before it appears above the horizon, as the full moon rises in the eastern sky at 8:53 p.m. EDT (0053 Friday GMT). The moon will appear full for about three days, starting early Wednesday (June 23) morning through early Saturday (June 26) morning, according to a statement from NASA. Tonight’s full moon is also a supermoon, which occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, also known as perigee. In turn, the moon will look slightly bigger and brighter since it's closer to the Earth than usual. June’s Strawberry Moon is the second and last supermoon of the year. Related: June full moon 2021: See the 'Strawberry supermoon' shine

If you’ve missed any of the celestial events that have happened this year already -- the Pink Moon in April or the recent solar eclipse, to name a couple -- you’ve got one more chance to witness a rare supermoon this year, and it’s happening this week.

Its name has ties to strawberry picking season, and when Thursday's strawberry moon appears above the horizon, the marginal supermoon will look large and gold.

So you're not disappointed or confused, first things first: The moon isn't going to actually look like a big, round strawberry.

In fact, the tradition of calling the first month of marriage the honeymoon may be tied to this full moon, either because of the custom of marrying in June or because the Honey Moon is considered the "sweetest" moon of the year, NASA says. When the moon is low on the horizon, it allows you to capture the view with objects in the foreground, making the moon appear bigger," Jones said. And the next full moon after the Strawberry is the Full Buck Moon on Sunday, July 5.
