June is really coming to an end, but before saying goodbye, it has a very special moment in store for us: the arrival of the first full moon of summer. Known as the Strawberry Moon, this phenomenon reaches its peak in the early hours of Tuesday, June 30, at 12:57 a.m.
Despite its romantic name, the truth is that the Moon will not appear in the sky over Porto tinged with shades of pink. In fact, it is expected to appear with a more orange or golden hue.
In addition to its unusual name, the Strawberry Moon is different from the others because it is lower in the sky. This means it is closer to the horizon, appearing larger than when it is high in the sky.
The origin of the name “Strawberry Moon”
The history of this moon’s name is linked to the harvest season. In this case, its origin dates back to the harvesting of wild strawberries in the Northern Hemisphere by Native American tribes.
In Europe, the June full moon is also known as the Rose Moon or the Honey Moon. Whatever name you prefer to call it, what really matters is looking up at the sky and admiring its beauty!
