American space agency NASA Accordingthe Strawberry Moon will be fully visible for about three days. It is also called honey moon and rose moon. According to NASA, the Strawberry Moon will be the lowest full moon this year, rising just 21.9 degrees above the horizon. That means it will be visible low and low in the sky.
NASA says that such full moons are a golden opportunity for people interested in astronomy. People can see craters and mountains on the surface of the Moon using a good telescope.
The moon will appear exceptionally large during a Strawberry Moon, but it will not be a supermoon. To see a supermoon, you will have to wait till August and after that four consecutive supermoons will be seen.
The full moon of the month of June is named Strawberry Moon by the American tribes. According to reports, this name has been used by the Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota people. The next full moon after the Strawberry Moon will be seen on July 21, which is called Buck Moon.
Why will there not be a supermoon?
The Strawberry Moon, visible on June 21, will be quite big, but it will not be a supermoon. According to reports, the summer solstice is on June 20 in the US and there will be a full moon just a day later. According to Space.com, this does not usually happen. This happens once in 19 to 20 years. During this time the Sun will be seen at its maximum point in the sky, hence the Moon will appear lower in the sky and will look bigger.
