If you have plans this evening, we hope they’re outside because the iconic Strawberry Moon will reach peak illumination at 9:08 pm EST and you don’t want to miss it. It’s known to be the lowest-hanging full moon of the year, but this Strawberry Moon is particularly unique due to its proximity to the summer solstice. In Layman’s terms: The longest day of the year means the sun will be at its highest point, therefore the moon will be at its lowest point.
Another rarity? Despite its name, the Strawberry Moon is not red, but it is expected to throw off some color. Tap the link in our bio for viewing details and be sure to find a spot with low light pollution to witness tonight’s strange celestial event.
