Strawberry Moon: Names, Glow, and Micromoon Magic | Topeka News

Get ready to gaze skyward—this June’s “strawberry moon” isn’t red, but it’ll glow golden as it rises, thanks to Earth’s atmosphere filtering the light. Named by Native tribes like the Ojibwe and Algonquin for peak strawberry season, it’s also known as the “birth moon,” “egg moon,” “blooming moon,” or “rose moon” across cultures, marking animal births, blossoms, and harvests. It’s also a “micromoon,” appearing slightly smaller and dimmer due to its distance from Earth, peaking at 6:57 PM on June 29. Look up, and don’t forget—the next full moon, the “buck moon,” arrives July 29. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
