Don’t expect a pink or red moon — the June 29th full moon, dubbed the “strawberry moon,” looks just like any other full moon. The name honors the strawberry harvest season, tracked by Native American tribes like the Algonquin and Ojibwe. Other regional names include blooming moon, green corn moon, egg-laying moon, and birth moon for Pacific Northwest tribes. Peak brightness hits around 4:56 PM, but it’ll shine brightly all night — even if you miss the exact moment. A beautiful reminder of how ancient cultures used lunar cycles to mark the seasons.
