Here's how to see the rare Strawberry Moon rise TOMORROW

The Strawberry Moon coincides with the summer solstice for the first time since 1985, making it appear larger in the sky.
Skygazers can witness the full moon's golden hue and larger appearance due to its low position, known as the 'Moon Illusion.'
The name 'Strawberry Moon' comes from Native American Algonquin tribes who used it as a signal for strawberry harvesting, with a belief that wishes made under it come true.
The term 'Honeymoon' stems from the moon's association with Mead or Honey Moon in ancient European folklore, symbolizing the sweetest time for honey harvesting.
