TL;DR Summary

June's full moon, known as the Strawberry Moon, will be visible tonight and on June 4th. Four consecutive supermoons will follow in July, August, and September. The term "supermoon" refers to a full moon that appears larger and brighter than usual due to its proximity to Earth. The Strawberry Moon is named after the time of year when "June-bearing" strawberries are ready to be gathered, according to Native American Algonquian tribes. Other cultures have different names for June's full moon, such as the Blooming Moon, Green Corn Moon, and Hoer Moon.
