Strawberry Moon Becomes First Full Summer Moon
FOX Weather reported that the Strawberry Moon reached full illumination on the evening after the summer solstice, appearing low in the sky and remaining visible for several nights. Earlier coverage from WZTV noted that the first full moon of the season would be visible after the solstice, while Yahoo added that the June full moon, dubbed the strawberry moon, would peak in the evening and be a micromoon, slightly smaller and dimmer than average. NJ.
com described the moon rising low in the southeastern horizon over New Jersey and setting in the southwest before sunrise. WRAL said the moon would rise in the southeastern sky after sunset, and CNN highlighted its low position in the northern sky and its status as a micromoon. Collectively, these sources set expectations that the strawberry moon would be a modestly sized, low-lying full moon visible for several evenings.
