The 1962 song "Up on the Roof" reminds listeners of the beauty of the night sky, which is particularly captivating in June with the Strawberry Moon. This nickname originates from Native American culture, signifying when strawberries are ripe, not the moon's appearance. This year, conditions may lend it a pinkish hue. The unique low position of the moon this June is attributed to a major lunar standstill and the alignment of Earth's and the moon's orbits, making this viewing opportunity special.
The Strawberry Moon peaks at its lowest position in nearly 20 years due to a major lunar standstill, bringing an extra special viewing opportunity.
Native Americans named the Strawberry Moon for the season's fruit, highlighting how cultural traditions influence our perception of natural phenomena.
