Don’t Miss Tonight’s Lowest Full Moon For A Generation — Why It’s Happening
- Tonight, June 10, 2025, observers will see the lowest-hanging full Strawberry Moon in 19 years rising above the southeastern horizon.
- This event happens because the Moon is experiencing a rare 18.6-year cycle that causes its rising and setting locations to move to their most extreme positions in the sky.
- Near 50 degrees north latitude, the Strawberry Moon will reach only around 10 degrees elevation above the southern horizon, making its position in the sky notably low.
- The full moon phase peaks at 3:44 a.m. EDT on June 11, and on the night of June 10 it will appear near the bright star Antares.
- This rare lunar position will not occur again until 2043, providing a unique opportunity to observe long-term lunar orbital cycles.
