Strawberry Moon’s Golden Glow

Tonight’s Strawberry Moon promises a stunning, atmospheric show—especially if you catch it low on the horizon. With Saharan dust and wildfire smoke in the air, expect golden or reddish hues as the moon rises around 8:24 PM CT on Monday, June 29. This micromoon, the last of 2026, appears slightly smaller and dimmer since it’s at its farthest point from Earth. Also visible on June 28 and 30, it’s known by Native American tribes as the Birth or Blooming Moon—reminding us how nature’s cycles and our atmosphere shape the sky’s beauty.
