If you want to see the moon, this evening will be very special for you. Today the first full summer moon of the year, the “Strawberry Moon,” will be visible in the sky. No telescope will be needed to see this beautiful view. It can be easily seen even with the naked eye. What is distinctive is that this moon will be visible very close to the horizon, which may appear golden or light orange in color. In such a case, today’s evening will be nothing less than a gift for sky lovers.
What is the strawberry moon and why was it given this name?
Hearing the name, it might seem that the moon would look pink or strawberry-like, but that is not the case. According to NASA, the name “Strawberry Moon” was given to it by the American Algonquin tribe. This name was given to the full moon that comes during the ripening of the strawberry crop in June. This name is still used in many parts of the world. In some places it is also known as the Rose Moon and the Honey Moon.
When and how to see this special moon in India
In India, the Strawberry Moon can be best seen shortly after moonrise on the evening of June 29. However, its brightest light will be around 5:27 a.m. on June 30.
