The June 2025 Strawberry Moon peaks on June 11 at 3:44 a.m. ET and will be the lowest full moon in nearly 20 years. As it hugs the horizon, it may glow with a reddish or pinkish tint — thanks to its low path and potential wildfire haze.
Named by Native American tribes to mark strawberry-picking season, this moon is also linked to a rare major lunar standstill — an 18.6-year cycle that affects how high or low the moon travels across the sky.
Catch it rising on the evening of June 10 for a breathtaking global spectacle you won’t see again until 2043 🌑 🍓
