What's in a Moon Name? The June full moon is known as the Strawberry Moon, named by Algonquian tribes for the season when strawberries ripen. Keep an eye on the sky Monday, June 29, when the Moon reaches full phase around 6 p.m.

This year's event marks the final Micro Moon of 2026, meaning it will appear slightly smaller and dimmer since it is at a distant point in its orbit. You might notice a reddish tint when it is near the horizon due to light passing through the densest part of the atmosphere. The moon reaches its full phase at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 29.
