Overview

• The full moon reaches peak illumination at 9:43 UTC on June 11.
• It will rise around 22:30 local time on June 10 and set near 04:30 on June 11, offering a late-evening to pre-dawn viewing window.
• At approximately –28°24′ declination, it marks the lowest full moon above the Northern Hemisphere since 2007 and won’t be equaled until 2043.
• This low altitude triggers the moon illusion that enlarges the lunar disk, and its warm hue near the horizon has inspired both the traditional “Strawberry Moon” name from Native American harvest lore and the “Honey Moon” nickname.
• The moon remains visibly full for hours before and after the exact peak, giving skywatchers an extended opportunity to observe the spectacle.
