Event Summary

The Strawberry Moon, the full moon of June, is set to appear on June 29-30, 2026. This year, it will follow a particularly low path across the sky, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, making it appear larger and more golden or amber-toned due to atmospheric effects and the 'Moon Illusion'. The name 'Strawberry Moon' originates from the Algonquin people of northeastern North America, who associated this full moon with the wild strawberry harvesting season. Despite its name, the moon will not appear pink or red. Skywatchers in India will have prime viewing opportunities on the evening of June 29, shortly after moonrise, with peak illumination occurring at 5:27 AM IST on June 30. No special equipment is needed for viewing, and clear skies away from city lights are recommended for the best experience. Sources like United States — NASA, Old Farmer s Almanac, and Time and Date provide details on the event.
