"Strawberry Full Moon Illuminates Summer Solstice Tonight"

June's full moon, known as the Strawberry Moon, will appear larger and more colorful due to its low position in the sky, creating an orange or amber hue. This phenomenon, called the moon illusion, occurs because the moon's light travels a longer distance through Earth's atmosphere. Optimal viewing is at moonrise or moonset, and no special equipment is needed. The moon will peak at 9:08 p.m. ET Friday, one day after the summer solstice.
