The June full moon, known as the Strawberry Moon, shines brightly on Tuesday nights and Wednesday mornings.

The month will be at its peak at 3:44am on Wednesday, but will still appear bright and low in the east after sunset on Tuesday, and low in the west on Wednesday morning, opposite the sunrise around Airski.

The summer solstice collapses this month and will occur on June 20th. This means that the sky’s sun usually appears high, as the celestial bodies are located on the other side of the globe.

However, this also became the lowest full moon visible in decades from the Northern Hemisphere, according to Elssky, due to a phenomenon known as the main moon halt. The stopping occurs when the moon is at its northernmost or southernmost point because the moon’s orbit is slowly raded over a 18.6-year cycle by subtracting the solar gravity. According to the Griffith Observatory, this phenomenon is called a halt because the moon appears to stop changing during this period, despite moving into orbit.

According to Earthsky, the outage occurred in January, but still affects the full moon perspective. The last major month outage occurred in 2006.

Meanwhile, for those looking behind the scenes of this phenomenon in the Southern Hemisphere, the full moon will reach its highest point.

The silver orbs do not look like berry, but the June full moon gained its fame from indigenous tribes inspired by sweet berries such as strawberries, which ripen and peak at this time of year. Both Anishinabe and Sue people call this month’s full moon Ichigoumon. Meanwhile, Ogawa knows it as the Blackberry Moon, and the Shawnees call it the Raspberry Moon.

The full moon isn’t the only place to search for the night sky in June.

According to NASA, the strawberry moon also appears near the center of the Milky Way.
Galaxy’s Bright Center will be the annual exhibition from June to August, known as the “core season” as you can see the core of the Milky Way.

Keep an eye on the faintly hazy bands that resemble cloudy, which appear to be arcing south.

The band is best seen under dark sky away from the city lights, and looks even more vividly through long exposure photos.

Meanwhile, multiple planets are visible in the sky this month.

Mars, Jupiter and Mercury all appear low on the west after sunset. Look for bright Venus in the eastern sky for about two hours before the sun rises for a month. Crescent Moon and Venus appear nearby in the eastern sky early in the morning of June 22nd.

There will be six more full moons in 2025, with super moons occurring in October, November and December.

According to Farmers Almanac, this is the list of the 2025 remaining Full Moons.

Solar Eclipse of the Moon and Sun in 2025

Falls and two solar eclipse events adorn the sky.

According to date and time, on September 7th and 8th, total lunar eclipses are most prominent in Europe, Africa, Africa, Asia, Australia, eastern South America, Alaska and parts of Antarctica.
The lunar eclipse, which makes the moon appear dark, occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, with three celestial objects lined up side by side, so that the moon enters the shadows of our planet.

According to NASA, when the moon is in the darkest part of the Earth’s shadow called the Umbra, it becomes a shade of reddish tint. Because its shadow is not perfect, sunlight creeps around the edges of the shadows, bathing in warm shades of the moon.

According to NASA, when the moon travels between the sun and the earth, a partial solar eclipse occurs on September 21st. In this type of event, the moon blocks only a portion of the sun’s face, creating a crescent-shaped shape that appears to “bite” from the sun. The event will look more remote in Australia, the Antarctic and Pacific Oceans.
