Don’t miss the chance to capture and share photos of the bright ‘strawberry moon’ lighting up the night sky.

ORLANDO, Fla. – A full moon comes around once a month, but June’s is a little different.

If you happen to be stargazing Tuesday night or during the early hours Wednesday, you’ll get the chance to see why for yourself.

Due to our atmosphere’s habit of scattering specific wavelengths of light, the full moon, known as the “strawberry moon,” may appear reddish or have a yellow-orange hue, as reported by Space.com.

The strawberry moon, however, is not named for its distinct color. The term originated from Native American Algonquian tribes who linked it to the typical short strawberry harvest at this time of year, as per the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Given favorable weather conditions, viewers may witness a fully illuminated strawberry moon during Tuesday’s sunset, the best time to observe it as it ascends above the southeastern horizon, according to Space.com. The full moon phase is expected to take place at 3:43 a.m. on Wednesday, as per TimeandDate.com.
