What the Strawberry Moon means
Strawberry Moon is the popular June name. It refers to the timing of ripening fruit in a regional seasonal calendar, not to a red or pink lunar disc.
Near the June solstice the UK full Moon follows a low, shallow path and the observing night is brief.
Watching it from the UK. Find an open south-eastern horizon; buildings and trees can hide a low midsummer Moon for longer than expected. A low Moon can look larger or warmer because of perspective and the atmosphere, not because its phase changed.
Moon names come from almanac traditions and differ between sources; the seasons are northern-hemisphere ones. NASA's Moon phase guide.
