ASTRONOMY FORECAST
June ends this year with a Full Moon on Monday, June 29th , which is traditionally called the Strawberry Moon. It will also be a Micromoon, which occurs when the moon is around its farthest point from Earth in its orbit. The moon will be located in the constellation Sagittarius, and it will be very low in our sky. The Strawberry Moon is not named after fruit, but because it will appear reddish when it is close to the horizon due to light passing through the densest layers of the atmosphere. It is called the Blooming Moon by the Anishinaabe peoples, indicating the flowering season, the Green Corn Moon by the Cherokee peoples, and the Hoer Moon by the Western Abenaki people.
