LOOK UP ON JUNE 29! The Stunning Strawberry Moon Is Coming 🌕🍓

One of the most beautiful Full Moons of 2026 will light up the night sky on June 29!

Known as the "Strawberry Moon," this magical Full Moon marks the start of summer's strawberry harvesting season. 🍓✨

And no—the Moon won't actually be pink! 😄

The name comes from Native American traditions, which used June's Full Moon as a signal that wild strawberries were ready to be picked.

But here's what makes it special...

As it rises near the horizon, the Moon can glow in beautiful shades of gold, orange, copper, and even deep red. 🌅🌕

This happens because its light travels through more of Earth's atmosphere, creating a breathtaking display that photographers and sky lovers wait all year to see. 📸✨

🌕 Why You Should Watch It:

✅ Last Full Moon of spring ✅ Famous Strawberry Moon of June ✅ One of the most photographed moons of the year ✅ May appear HUGE near the horizon due to the Moon Illusion

📅 Date: June 29, 2026

⏰ Best Time: During the first hour after moonrise.

📍 Where to Look: Toward the eastern horizon shortly after sunset.

📸 Pro Photo Tip: Find trees, mountains, buildings, or other objects in the foreground to make the Moon look gigantic in your photos!

For one incredible night, this ancient Moon will rise above cities, forests, mountains, lakes, and oceans around the world—creating a view you won't want to miss. ✨🌎
