A Strawberry Moon Will Soon Rise. Here's when to Look up at June's Full Moon
The guide says the full Strawberry Moon will brighten the sky and make deep-sky viewing difficult while Mars, Neptune and Venus remain visible.
- On Monday, June 29, 2026, the Strawberry Moon reaches its exact full phase at 7:58 P.M. EDT, dominating Sagittarius from within the Teapot asterism.
- June's full moon is traditionally named the Strawberry Moon for seasonal harvests in North America; as the first full moon of summer, it traces the lowest possible arc in the Northern Hemisphere.
- Classified as a micromoon, the Strawberry Moon occurs one day after apogee, the farthest point in its orbit from Earth, appearing about 12-14% smaller and dimmer than average.
- Stargazers can also observe Mars in Taurus on June 27, while Neptune reaches an altitude of 30° in the southeast on June 30, offering excellent views.
- The next full moon, the Buck Moon, will occur on July 29, 2026, beginning the run of higher, brighter summer full moons.
