June's Strawberry Moon to Illuminate the Night Sky

The full moon on June 21 will closely follow the path of the December sun and will be visible all night.

The Strawberry Moon will reach its peak at 9:08 PM ET on June 21, 2024.
This full moon will appear in the constellation Sagittarius, near the bright star Antares.
The moon's path will mimic the low arc of the December sun for Northern Hemisphere viewers.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the moon will follow a high arc similar to the summer solstice sun.
The name 'Strawberry Moon' originates from the ripening of strawberries during this time of year.
