Overview

• Royal Museums Greenwich fixes the full phase at 8:44 am BST on June 11.
• The best time to catch the moonrise is at dusk on June 10, when it will linger full overnight.
• Its low altitude stems from an 18.6-year lunar cycle peak that won’t recur until 2043.
• Indigenous Algonquin tribes named it for June’s strawberry harvest, while Europeans dubbed it the Rose or Hot Moon.
• Stargazers can also look ahead to a total lunar eclipse visible from the UK on September 7 and the Buck Moon on July 10.
