According to NASA, the lunar event called “Strawberry Moon” started yesterday and stay visible at the beginning of Saturday. It is common for these lunar events to receive a unique name, some of them referring to the appearance of the moon, but most of the nature of the seasons in which they occur. That is to say, do not expect the strawberry strawberry strawberry.
Strawberry Moon is a particular cultural name for the last full moon that occurs during the spring season or, depending on the year, the first full moon that takes place during the summer season. The name refers to the appearance of the moon – he does not turn the strawberry – but rather of the time of the year when these types of berries are usually mature enough to harvest.
Although the moon does not look like a giant mature strawberry in the sky over the next nights, NASA says it can appear a reddish nuance when it rises and settles because of how sunlight strikes this period of the year. In addition, the straw straw of 2021 is closer to an ordinary full moon, making it a special spectacle.
This would technically make the event a super strawberry moon, because “Super Moon” is the term used for the full moon that seems larger than normal. The full moon of this weekend is also known by other names, including honey and pink moon.
