Another full moon graces Earth: check out the best photos of the Strawberry Moon (13 photos)
On the night of June 30, 2026, a full moon occurred on Earth. In the Western tradition, which borrows its full moon names from North American Indians, the June full moon is called the Strawberry Moon. This name has nothing to do with the moon's color; it refers to the ripening of strawberries at this time of year. The June full moon reached its peak on June 30 at 2:56 a.m. Moscow time. Because it occurred just a few days after the summer equinox, the moon was quite low above the horizon, making it appear larger than usual. Photographers around the world were able to capture it; let's take a look.
