June’s Strawberry Moon, the first full moon of summer, will rise Monday evening and is also one of the year’s smallest full moons, known as a micromoon. This occurs because the moon is near its farthest point from Earth, about 251,926 miles away. Named for the North American strawberry harvest, it is also called the Green Corn, Blooming, or Birth Moon. While it won’t appear deep red, it may show a soft orange or reddish hue when rising due to atmospheric scattering. This is the second micromoon of 2026, with the next not expected until the summer of 2027. https://www.accuweather.com/en/space-news/strawberry-moon-how-to-see-the-1st-full-moon-of-summer/1905563
