Nearly a month after the world witnessed a Supermoon, Bloodmoon and Total Lunar Eclipse followed by the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse, another celestial event is set to occur in the night sky — the Strawberry Moon. The Strawberry Moon, which will appear tonight (June 24), is the first full moon after the Summer solstice, when it reaches its full phase. Strawberry Moon marks the last full moon of the spring season and the first of the summer season.
Why the name Strawberry Moon? The celestial phenomenon received its name from ancient American tribes who marked the full moon with the beginning of the harvesting season for strawberries.
