The Strawberry Moon coincides with the summer solstice for the first time since 1985, putting our natural satellite on its lowest path around Earth, making it seem larger in the sky.
Skygazers should look southeast to watch the full moon rise above the horizon - appearing large and golden-hued due to the low, shallow path across the sky, known as the 'Moon Illusion.'
The name 'Strawberry Moon' originates from Native American Algonquin tribes who used it to mark strawberry ripeness, with a belief that wishes made under it will come true.
The term 'Honeymoon' links back to the moon's association with Mead or Honey Moon in European folklore, symbolizing the 'sweetest' time for honey harvesting.
