Look up to See June’s Full Strawberry Moon, the Milky Way and Multiple Planets
- The full Strawberry Moon will reach its peak at 8:44 a.m. BST on June 11, 2025, and will be visible on the evenings of June 10 and 11 across the Northern Hemisphere.
- This event occurs during a major lunar standstill, a rare 18.6-year cycle that last happened in 2006 and will not return until 2043, causing the moon to appear unusually low in the sky.
- The Strawberry Moon will appear larger and brighter due to a well-known optical illusion called the 'Moon illusion' and the Earth's atmosphere scattering light to possibly create a reddish or orange tint.
- On June 10 around 11 p.m. BST, the Strawberry Moon will be positioned just to the left of the bright red star Antares, called the 'rival of Mars', in the constellation Scorpius.
- This lunar event offers a rare viewing opportunity highlighting the moon’s cycle and positional changes and continues the tradition of naming it after the June strawberry harvest noted by Native Americans.
